**RARE** ORIGINAL FRANK SINATRA PROGRAM 10/23/45 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN H.S.
Benjamin Franklin High School opened in 1943. A long-time principal there
was pioneering educational theorist Leonard Covello, the city's first
Italian-American principal. Frank Sinatra performed to quell racial tensions
after a riot between African-American and Italian-American students on
October 23, 1945. Future jazz saxophonist, Sonny Rollins, said that the
concert changed his life.This is an original program of that concert
performed by Frank Sinatra. It measures 8" x 10-1/2". It is separated at
creases and a few imperfections along edges. Don't know of any that survived
and are still in existence. GREAT Sinatra-ana!
