Lest We Forget - Series B, Pgm 2

Now let's take another look at "Lest We Forget", a series syndicated by the Institute for Democratic Education in the late 1940s and early 50s to combat prejudice.  Although they might seem a little heavy-handed, the shows are well written and produced and are an interesting snap shot of community service programming of the time.

Program 2 of series B features Mercury Theater regular Everett Sloane in "Blow That Whistle".  The drama is about a mailman who, against his better judgment, is drawn into "American First" group that harasses immigrants in the local community. The show was transferred from an original vinyl Orthacoustic transcription pressed by NBC/RCA, matrix number ND7-MM-5851.
