Miss Anderson:

This is Marion Anderson...and I'm not here to talk
about music (PAUSE) not unless you mean the music
of machines rolling and ships splashing down the
runways - the sound of airplanes in the sky and of
subway trains winging underground...the songs and
laughter of children at play - horses neighing in a
meadow... the honking of automobile horns, the blare
of radios, the hum of newspaper presses - (BUILDING)
a police whistle - the clink of milk bottles - the
snap of chewing gum - the "str-r-rike" call of the
baseball umpire and the roar of the crowd - the
wail of the juke box - the chatter of one hundred
thirty million voices of every race, color and creed --
(NOISES OUT FAST) (PAUSE, THEN WITH SINCERITY) All
this is the music of America - the music of free men
in a free land. This is the music of which I now
speak.

MUSIC: (BEETHOVEN VICTORY SYMPHONY - OPENING THEME IN QUICKLY
FOR TWO MEASURES - THEN SNEAK OUT......)

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
