That’s just how I feel, Francis!!! Repost from @sinatragram using @RepostRegramApp - “It is not my task to preach to anyone or sell social messages to my fellow citizens but I happen to hold a few convictions about life and democracy. I hold certain definite opinions about some of the problems currently dividing our nation and frequently I feel the urge to express myself, to speak out on issues that entertainers don’t normally concern themselves with. I believe that an entertainer’s function is to entertain. But he is also a responsible citizen with the same rights and obligations as the next man. When an entertainer shirks his duty as a citizen in a crisis he is as much to be criticized as anybody else. And when he faces up courageously to an issue which because of its national importance affects him directly, he is entitled to applause. Louis Armstrong, whom I’ve long admired for his artistry as a performer, faced up to a great national issue last September and sounded off strongly in an interview given to a newspaperman in Grand Forks, ND. Louis was understandably angry over the failure of the federal government to act quickly and firmly to protect the right of nine Negro students to go to a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas without being segregated. A lot of people sided with Armstrong on that deal. Others said that he was too outspoken and should not make statements outside the area of music. Though I felt at the time that Pops might have left out a few of those harsh words about his President and government, I believed he was right and perfectly justified in saying what he did. His was a righteous indignation over injustice.” - Frank Sinatra “The Way I Look at Race@ @ebonymagazine c. 1958
