From the Archive: Frank Marshall Davis Interview
Interview with notable African-American poet and journalist Frank Marshall Davis. Davis is mentioned in President Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father as a drinking buddy of his grandfather and as an African American who made an impression on him as a young man growing up in Hawaii. The Film & Media Archive partnered with the Center for Labor Education and Research (CLEAR) at the University of Hawaii West Oahu to preserve the interview.
