Ruby Elzy: Black Diva of the ThirtiesSunday, February 6, 4 p.m.

Ruby Elzy was one of George Gershwin’s handpicked leads for the original production of Porgy and Bess. Raised in the small Mississippi town of Pontotoc, Elzy’s voice carried her to Ohio State University, Julliard, Broadway, and nationwide concerts. Her life cut short, she would have been one of the first black artists to appear in grand opera had she lived beyond her 35 years. This program is based upon the book Black Diva of the Thirties: The Life of Ruby Elzy, by David E. Weaver.

Ruby Elzy’s story is a powerful example of how talent can overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. One of four children, she was born in abject poverty in a small town in Mississippi. Her father abandoned the family when Ruby was 5. But she could sing. A visiting professor, astounded by her voice, helped her get into college. Then she got a fellowship to Juilliard. She appeared opposite Paul Robeson in the movie version of Eugene O’Neill’s The Emperor Jones, with Bing Crosby and Mary Martin in Birth of the Blues, and she sang at Harlem’s Apollo Theater and in the Hollywood Bowl. She had an extraordinary soprano voice—both pure and searing. She was good-looking and she could act. Serena is the woman whose husband is murdered by the villain Crown, and her rendition of “My Man’s Gone Now” electrified the audience. Elzy entertained at the White House in 1937 for first lady Eleanor Roosevelt’s luncheon for the wives of U.S. Supreme Court Justices. Her repertoire also included art songs and arias, the most ambitious of which is probably “Elsa’s Dream” from Wagner’s opera Lohengrin. When George Gershwin heard her sing, he cast her in the major role of Serena in his new opera, Porgy and Bess. She made her Broadway debut in this role in 1935, at the age of 27, and sang the part more than 800 times, on Broadway and on tour. Her future success was all but guaranteed. In 1943, Elzy was preparing the role of Verdi’s Ethiopian princess Aida when she had to have surgery. It was supposed to be a relatively minor procedure, but she died in a Detroit hospital. Since her death, she’s been largely overlooked, except by Gershwin mavens. She never made a commercial recording of “My Man’s Gone Now,” but three of her performances have survived, two of them from radio broadcasts of the 1937 Gershwin Memorial Concert at the Hollywood Bowl, which took place three months after his death. We’ll hear Ruby Elzy perform “My Man’s Gone Now,” “I Know the Lord,” “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child,” “Summertime,” “St. Louis Blues,” and “Elsa’s Dream” and others.

William’s Leap for FreedomSunday, February 13, 4 p.m.

William’s Leap for Freedom is an original radio drama based on the life of freed slave William Wells Brown. It was adapted for radio from the stage play of the same name by Cheryl Black of the University of Missouri Department of Theatre. Beginning with a fictionalized conversation between William Wells Brown and Mr. Polite, the program then moves to selected portions of Brown’s play The Escape or Leap for Freedom, as it relates to the tale of three slaves, Cato, Glen, and Melinda. Brown often stated that this play was autobiographical. The couple, Glen and Melinda, did exist, while Cato is Brown himself. William Wells Brown was born a slave in 1814. It is said that his mother was the daughter of Daniel Boone and a black slave, while his father was known to be a member of the Wickliffe family of Kentucky and Louisiana. Throughout his lifetime, Brown was a fugitive slave, a conductor on the Underground Railroad, an abolitionist, an anti-slavery lecturer, an historian, a medical doctor, and a poet. His life experiences gave him a thorough education and with that came an understanding of human nature, and of American culture and society. In 1856, Brown decided to stop giving lectures at paid abolitionist engagements and instead began performing his dramas. Through drama he emphasized that all Americans, northern and southern, participated in deceptions necessary to support the system of slavery. This program was recorded at the 2010 National Audio Theatre Festivals workshop in West Plains, Missouri and stars Mirron E. Willis as Wells Brown, and features Barbara Rosenblat along with a multi-voice cast. It was directed by Renee Pringle with assistance from Sue Zizza.

The Changing WorldSunday, February 6, 8 p.m.Brazil: Lula’s Legacy

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil, known popularly as “Lula,” is often regarded as the most popular politician in the history of Brazil and, at the time of his mandate, one of the most in the world. He was featured in Time’s “The 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2010.” BBC Correspondent Paulo Cabral travels to the poor region in the northeast of Brazil where the President was born, and the industrial suburb of São Paulo where he made his reputation. Cabral finds a Brazil with a rapidly expanding middle class, but with areas that still need a lot of help from the government. He visits impressive infrastructure projects, but encounters big bottlenecks, and he talks to everyone from IT entrepreneurs to illiterate farm-workers.

Sunday, February 13, 8 p.m.Manny Pacquiao: From Poverty to Prosperity

The BBC’s Mike Costello travels to the Philippines to meet Manny Pacquiao: boxing legend, record-breaking eight time world champion, politician, and national hero. Manny came from a poor family and sold doughnuts in the streets as a boy to help support his family. He went on to become, as his fan Web site puts it, the number one pound-for-pound boxer on the planet. Mike Costello charts Manny’s rise to fame, delves into the role of his Catholic fate, and explores the roots of his widespread appeal in the Philippines.

Sunday, February 20, 8 p.m.Extremes in Corruption

Sweden is perceived as a peaceful and prosperous nation. Somalia has the opposite image. But are these reputations deserved? The anti-corruption watchdog, Transparency International, has again ranked Sweden as one of the cleanest places to do business in the world. It’s a reputation Swedes are proud of. But recent headlines have provoked a national debate on whether the country really deserves that reputation. Three national icons—Ikea, Saab, and the royal family—have all recently faced allegations of corruption. Has Sweden become complacent on corruption? In the second half-hour, we go to Somalia. Transparency International has again named Somalia as the most corrupt country on earth. Is that fair, given that it has had no functioning government for two decades?

Sunday, February 27, 8 p.m.Tales of Two Cities

Chicago politics has a reputation for backroom deals and criminal undertones. For more than a century, the city’s wheels have been oiled by patronage, bribery, and graft. Journalist Steve Edwards takes to the streets of his hometown, where he meets the political bosses behind the so-called “machine” that has controlled democracy there for many years. He asks, Why has the Windy City been such a hotbed of corruption?

In the second half-hour, the BBC’s Simon Pitts visit Maywood, a small working class city near Los Angeles and one of the poorest cities in the region. Last summer, in an effort to avoid bankruptcy, Maywood made the decision to lay off all city employees, and contract out services such police services and maintenance. Pitts investigates the implications of this move.

With Good Reason: “No Argument Here”Sunday, February 27, 4:30 p.m.

James Farmer was the initiator and organizer of the 1961 Freedom Rides that led to desegregated transportation in the South. His skilled oratory was shaped in part as a member of the famous 1935 debate team portrayed in the Denzel Washington movie The Great Debaters. In this episode of With Good Reason, host Lydia Wilson speaks to Timothy O’Donnell, associate professor of communication and director of debate at the University of Mary Washington. He’s furthering Farmer’s footsteps by developing high-quality debate teams at historically black colleges and universities. O’Donnell believes that argumentation is valuable because it requires the ability to see both sides of an issue. He calls debating “the quintessential American art form.” Also: From antebellum slavery to the twenty-first century, African-American funeral directors have orchestrated funerals or “homegoing” ceremonies with dignity and pageantry. As entrepreneurs in a largely segregated trade, they were among the few black individuals in any community who were economically independent and not beholden to the local white power structure. Most important, their financial freedom gave them the ability to support the struggle for civil rights and, indeed, to serve the living as well as bury the dead. Lydia Wilson speaks to Suzanne E. Smith, associate professor of history, George Mason University and author of To Serve the Living. For black Americans, death was never simply the end of life, and funerals were not just places to mourn. In the “hush harbors” of the slave quarters, black Americans first used funerals to bury their dead and to plan a path to freedom. Similarly, throughout the long struggle for racial equality in the twentieth century, funeral directors aided the cause by honoring the dead while supporting the living.

Mayor Greg Goodnight

The event will be recorded for broadcast that week at the usual time, Wednesday at noon. Stay tuned to WFIU for more details.

Featured Contemporary ComposerWFIU’s featured composer for February is John Tavener. The Times (London) described Sir John Tavener as, “among the very best creative talents of his generation.” Born in 1944, he received his earliest education from Highgate School, along with John Rutter, before advancing to the Royal Academy of Music where his tutors included Sir Lennox Berkeley. It was here that he was first exposed to the music of Olivier Messiaen and Pierre Boulez. Tavener’s incorporation of religious images into his music started early in his career with The Whale in 1968, based on the biblical story of Jonah. During his time at the Academy, he won the Prince Rainier III of Monaco Prize for his cantata Cain and Abel. By 1969, he was teaching at Trinity College and his Celtic Requiem was released. In 1977, Tavener joined the Russian Orthodox Church and started exploring the history of the Church Fathers and the church’s mysticism for inspiration. He began moving away from Messiaen as his source of inspiration and looked more toward the music of Stravinsky. He wrote a Magnificat, which further strengthened his tendency toward stasis and ritualism rather than expressionism. He created a successful marriage of serially derived music and Orthodox liturgy with his Akhmatova Requiem in 1980. Tavener’s reputation lies mostly on his choral music which is often inspired by Greek culture. The secular song cycle Sappho: Lyrical Fragments served as the first example of his experimentation with a more lyrical approach in his music. His Ikon of Light for choir and string trio represents his attempt at an overall method of using chant-derived melodies and simple harmonies. WFIU will feature the music of Tavener throughout the month of February.

Jazz Notes February is Black History Month, and WFIU’s jazz programming is offering a variety of tributes.

Charitable Gift Annuities: The Gift That Keeps On Givingaus·ter·i·ty: enforced or extreme economy

So many people did Web searches for “austerity” in 2010 that online dictionary editors named it Word of the Year. During these austere times, here’s one great way to give a gift with limited resources: a Charitable Gift Annuity through the Indiana University Foundation. A Charitable Gift Annuity can increase your cash flow, reduce your taxes, and make a significant contribution to public radio. It’s an opportunity to make a long lasting contribution to WFIU while providing an additional stream of income for you or a loved one.

A Charitable Gift Annuity provides you with:

• a tax deduction in the year of the gift • fixed income for life, guaranteed by

the assets of the IU Foundation• the knowledge that you are

supporting the future of public radio It’s hard to find a high, guaranteed, rate of return in today’s market. Rates will decrease slightly next year at most ages due to the low interest rate environment—so now is the perfect time to act. The minimum gift is $5,000 and you can choose to benefit any program you like. Make a gift that keeps on giving—a gift to yourself and to WFIU. For a no-stress, no-commitment illustration showing how a Charitable Gift Annuity can benefit both WFIU and your pocketbook, contact Nancy Krueger at 812-855-2935 or [email protected].

Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory by Ben Macintyre

Airs: February 21 to March 23

In 1943, from a windowless basement office in London, two brilliant intelligence officers conceived a plan that was both simple and complicated: Operation Mincemeat. The purpose was to deceive the Germans into thinking that Allied forces were planning to attack southern Europe by way of Greece or Sardinia, rather than Sicily, as the Nazis had assumed, and the Allies ultimately chose. Charles Cholmondeley of MI5 and the British naval intelligence officer Ewen Montagu could not have been more different. Cholmondeley was a dreamer seeking adventure. Montagu was an aristocratic, detail-oriented barrister. But together they were the perfect team and created an ingenious plan: Get a corpse, equip it with secret (but false and misleading) papers concerning the invasion, then drop it off the coast of Spain where German spies would, they hoped, take the bait. The idea was approved by British intelligence officials, including Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels. Winston Churchill believed it might ring true to the Axis and help bring victory to the Allies. Unveiling never-before-released material, Ben Macintyre brings you into the minds of intelligence officers, their moles and spies, and the German military intelligence agents who suffered the twin frailties of wishfulness and yes-manship. Filled with spies, double agents, rogues, fearless heroes, and one very important corpse, the story of Operation Mincemeat reads like an international thriller, and was the inspiration for the 1956 movie The Man Who Never Was.

Excerpt from The Grace of Silence by Michele Norris In this excerpt from her new memoir, Michele Norris, co-host of NPR’s All Things Considered, describes her father’s final days.

Michele Norris

Belvin Norris Jr.

My father was one of those people who are most comfortable at the fringes, away from the action center stage. He did not need or crave attention. Instead, he was driven by the need to reassure others that everything was going to be all right. Belvin Norris Jr. was a fixer. An eternal optimist to the core. You could see it in his smile. As a grown man he still grinned like a schoolboy, and you could not help but grin along with him. His vibe was contagious. Even in his last hours my father practiced benevolence, always looking out for everybody else. Moments after the doctor delivered devastating news about his health, my father, still smiling, pointed to an infected cut on my left hand. It was his way of prodding the emergency room physician to turn his attention to me. Dad took ill in June 1988, while visiting his brother Simpson in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The minute he called me I knew something awful had happened. His voice was graveled, his words rubbery. He couldn’t put a sentence together, and the failed effort only added to his frustration. He had lost control of his speech, but he managed to hold on to his sunny disposition.

Tight Little Smiles

In Fort Wayne, in a large hospital in an unfamiliar city, we were confronting an unknown illness that had swiftly robbed my father of his ability to carry out the most basic functions. We were looking at complicated surgery and, at best, a long and complex recovery, so the doctors suggested that we quickly move Dad back to Minnesota, where he could be treated closer to home. We wanted to get Dad on the first flight to the Twin Cities, but his gait was unsteady and he seemed increasingly disoriented. He clutched my arm as we walked through the airport; he kept shooting me tight little smiles: reassurance. I wasn’t buying it. By now his speech was so slurred that only I could understand him, and so labored that he wasn’t able even to whisper. It took him so much effort and focus to spit out a sound that it was slightly explosive when it arrived, like a sputtering engine in a hushed area.

Two Blond Scolds

At the airport we sat across from two stout middle-aged blond women with wet-set curls and matching pink satin jackets. They must have been on their way to a convention or a sorority gathering; they were electric with excitement and frosted up like high-calorie confections, constantly rifling through their pocketbooks for mirrored compacts, then checking their makeup or blotting their lipstick. When my dad tried to lean toward me to ask a question, his words sputtered forth like bricks tumbling from a shelf. The satin dolls found it hard to mind their own business. They stared and pointed every time Dad attempted to speak. They didn’t try to hide their disparagement, one of them harrumphing loud enough for anyone to hear, “Goodness sakes, it’s not even noon yet!” After spending a lifetime trying to be a model minority—one of the few black men in his neighborhood, at his workplace, or on his daughters’ school committees—my father now sat facing the condemnation of the two blond scolds. They had apparently concluded that he was an early morning lush instead of a gray-haired man fighting a losing battle with a devastating disease.

Reaching Past Anger

Here is the conundrum of racism. You know it’s there, but you can’t prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, how it colors a particular situation. Those pink satin ladies were strangers to me, so I have no idea if they would have been as quick to judge a gray-haired white man with impaired speech. However, I do know this: the fact that they were white women added mightily to my father’s humiliation. I knew my father felt the sting of their judgment. I knew it because he kept pushing up his cardigan sleeve and futzing with his wrist, as if he’d left home without his Timex. But it was not the wrist on which he wore his windup watch. It was the wrist where the plastic bracelet had been affixed at the hospital. His awkward gestures were a silent plea to the satin dolls to notice the hospital bracelet. My heart breaks every time I think of the look on his face that day. The jut of his chin showed indignation, but the sag of his shoulders and the crease in his brow conveyed something different. Something hovering between anger and shame. There was also, however, a hint of grace. I believe now that he was trying not just to salvage his dignity but also to absolve the two women from dishonor. A less controlled, more impulsive man might have responded by giving those women the finger to shut them up. My father drew strength from reaching past anger. The aphorism “Kill them with kindness” might have been penned with a man like Belvin Norris Jr. in mind. By fiddling with his wrist he was saying, “If only they knew,” rather than “Shame on you.” Final Fight Home

Dad boarded the plane early because the flight crew knew he would need extra time to settle into his seat. He was flying alone that morning. Before walking down the jetway, he motioned for the nurse and the flight crew to wait a second. He leaned toward me as if he wanted to tell me something, but he couldn’t get words out. He kissed me on the cheek, a loving but clumsy gesture. His balance was off, so it was almost as if we were bumping heads. I didn’t mind, and I certainly didn’t care who was watching as we locked in a long

embrace. My eyes were closed, fighting back tears, so I barely noticed when the flight attendant crept into our circle of grief to gently remind us that they had to stay on schedule. The attendant lightly cupped my father’s elbow and led him away. It is disturbing to see your parent treated like a schoolchild, yet amusing to watch a man grin like a lucky teenager when a pretty woman takes his arm. As I walked away, the satin dolls gazed at me. They must have overheard the chat about Dad’s medical release because now they wore pouty, ingratiating smiles. I walked past them and smiled back. It hurts to recall my response; I, like my father, had reached beyond anger to offer conciliation instead. I had every right to throw my father’s humiliation in their faces. I should have made them squirm. I should have been the black girl that certain white women are conditioned to fear most. I didn’t do any of that. I am my father’s daughter, and such caustic gestures weren’t in my DNA. I was raised by a model minority to be a model minority, and to achieve that status, certain impulses had to be suppressed. Years later, I understand both the reason and its consequence. I was almost out of the waiting area when I felt someone touch my shoulder. I turned, thinking it might be one of the women, intent on apologizing, but there was no nail polish on the hand touching my arm. The hand was large and calloused, marked by raised splotches resembling coffee stains. A bearded man held my forearm; he called me “ma’am,” though it sounded like “Mom.” “I’ll watch over your pa,” he said before darting back to join his family. I wonder what my father had wanted to tell me, but couldn’t, right before he’d boarded the plane. More of his classic lunch-box wisdom? “Learn all you can” or “Save your money” or “Don’t eat too much late at night”? More than twenty years later, as still I mourn, I wonder if he was trying to impart some eternal verity before his final flight home to Minneapolis. This would be the last time I saw him alert. Within a day Dad slipped into a coma. Within a week a fast-growing brain tumor took his life.
