    The Adam Powell poster on the wall sent me to wikipedia. Sounds like he was quite the iconoclast as New York's first Congressman with African ancestry, but what the hell is this, from the wiki article? "In 1960, Powell, hearing of planned civil rights marches at the Democratic Convention, which could embarrass the party or candidate, threatened to accuse Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. of having a homosexual relationship with Bayard Rustin unless the marches were cancelled. Rustin, one of King's political advisers, was an openly gay man. King agreed to cancel the planned events and Rustin resigned from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference".

    This and some nearby photos are preparations for the first live New York symphony radio broadcast. The New York herald for August 12, 1922, ran the following story: "STADIUM MUSIC BROADCAST. Symphony Orchestra Concert Sent Out First Time. Last night was the first time that a great New York symphony orchestra had its music broadcast by radio, and reports which came In during I he evening indicated that the venture was entirely successful. The special microphone developed for the occasion made It possible for the actual music of the Philharmonic Orchestra's .stadium concert to be heard over a territory with a population of 75,000,000. The broadcasting began at 9 o'clock, daylight saving time, and lasted for an hour and a half. The microphones utilized last evening were of such sensitiveness that all sound. Including the music, applause or what not. was converted into an electric current of strength that varied In accordance with the character of the sound waves that impinged upon the diaphragm." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045774/1922-08-12/ed-...
