On Cassette: Frank Marshall Davis, 8

Camera takes still shots of several photographs.

Davis shows and discussses a number of photographs which he took during the 1930's and 40's, including shots of Chicago docks, streets, rail yards as well as portraits.  He reveals that he was also president of a local photography club, the Lens Camera Club of Chicago.

He discusses a 1947 portrait of himself saying "I always looked mean."

Davis also talks about meeting writer Richard Wright in 1935,
how the coming of World War II changed the life of African-Americans and black support for Roosevelt despite being a Democrat ("most were bigots").
