New Farmers of America Quartet Contests
Wow. I just heard the most beautiful recordings on NPR. This story recounts the highschool quartet contests held in the 1930s by the New Farmers of America, a nationwide organization founded for black students who were excluded from the Future Farmers of America. I’ve just looked around a bit, and it seems that the recordings of the quartets aren’t available.
