FTV 198 Lady Day: Billie Holiday and Invisible Man

This week on From the Vault we conclude our celebration of Black History month by paying tribute to American jazz icon Billie Holiday and presenting the final installment of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man. We’ll start with Lady Day, a program produced for Pacifica Radio in 1967 about Holiday, a blues and jazz legend. Produced by Gene and Fabs Dealessi, it features commentary from Dizzy Gillespie, Lena Horne, Studs Terkel, and others. Actor LeVar Burton then helps us finish our series of celebrity readings of Ellison’s Invisible Man, produced in 1995 by Roy Hurst and Gloria Mashunga.

From the Vault is proudly presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
