A Talk Given on the Ford Sunday Evening Hour, "Memorial Day," May 30, 1937

01

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.
