Podcast: Christopher A. Brooks and Robert Sims discuss Roland Hayes

Performing in a country rife with racism and segregation, the tenor Roland Hayes was the first African American man to reach international fame as a concert performer and one of the few artists who could sell out Town Hall, Carnegie Hall, Symphony Hall, and Covent Garden. On this episode of the IU Press podcast, Christopher A. Brooks and Robert Sims discuss their new book Roland Hayes and the legacy he left behind as a musician and a champion of African American rights.
