I just saw this story and shared it with my son. Wynton Marsalis is a national treasure, and this story shows why. His candor and eloquence are welcome additions to any news program.
I thought the piece was reminiscent of the best work from the ABC News program “Our Time”, on which Linda Ellerbee and former CBS Morning Show reporter Ray Gandolf shone a light on a period in recent US history to tell us more about ourselves.
We learn more about America when networks do good work like this. I look forward to your program much more because of Mr. Marsalis’ participation.
