When Worlds Collide: Leonard Bernstein, racial barriers at the Philharmonic, and the Black Panthers
Burton Tower, Room 506

In a five-month period in 1969, Leonard Bernstein had to defend himself against charges of racial discrimination in hiring at the New York Philharmonic and attacks that he was aiding the Black Panthers. Pulled from original sources in the Philharmonic’s Digital Archives, this paper will focus on what was behind these events and how Bernstein and the Philharmonic responded.
