Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection documents the D.C. Youth Chorale (the official city-wide chorus of the D.C. Public School System) and its director, Edward Jackson, Jr., primarily from the 1960s to the early 1980s. It includes concert programs, advertisements, and newspaper clippings, as well as materials collected for Jackson's application for the 1983-1984 National Teacher of the Year Award. The collection also contains a photograph album documenting an event held in celebration of Jackson and the D.C. Youth Chorale (2008). The D.C. Youth Chorale's performance at the 1964 World's Fair in New York is well documented in the collection.
