Burleigh:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8222;It was Dvo\u0159\u00e1k who taught me that the spirituals were meant not only for the colored people, but for people of all races, and every creed.\u00a0 In New York, I was with Dr. Dvo\u0159\u00e1k almost constantly.\u00a0 He loved to hear me sing the old plantation melodies.\u00a0 His humility and religious feeling &#8211; his great love for common people of all lands &#8211; enabled him to sense the pure gold of plantation song&#8230;\u00a0he understood the message ever manifest:\u00a0 that the eventual deliverance from all that hinders and oppresses the soul will come, and man &#8211; every man &#8211; will be free.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although the experiment was attacked and shut down to a certain degree, the hypothesis is valid and still reverberates. The fragments exist for the artist, and the chorus, to pick them up and out of them weld\u00a0together, in one harmonious whole, a nation, through the development of a\u00a0uniquely American, noble school of classical music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>For more information and to RSVP, please contact Jen at SchillerBostonChorus@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A contribution to the struggle for the Inalienable rights of all human beings.
