Artifact Overview

Launched in 1934, the Ford Sunday Evening Hour radio program featured classical music, guest soloists and conductors, and a weekly talk during intermission. Henry Ford asked his friend and advisor William J. Cameron to write and deliver these messages. Cameron, who composed the anti-Semitic articles for The Dearborn Independent, now peddled softer populist views--avoiding extremes and any direct attacks on politicians, ethnic groups, or Wall Street financiers.
