From the President 

New from 

Ken Burns 

He’s brought us some of the most memorable films in PBs history: The Civil 

War, Jazz, Baseball. He’s also regularly turned his lens on the smaller, yet 

important stories that help us expand and redefine our understanding of who 

we are as Americans—from The Shakers to Huey Long. this month, filmmaker 

extraordinaire Ken Burns and co-producer Lynn Novick have teamed up to 

bring us Prohibition a new three-part series that explores the rise, rule and 

fall of the 18 th Amendment 

(see page 8). 

“Prohibition is a story 

of single-issue political 

campaigns that metastasize 

with horrible, unintended 

consequences,” Ken says. the 

film raises vital questions 

that are as relevant today 

as they were 100 years ago: 

about means and ends, 

individual rights and responsibilities and the proper role of government.” 

Longtime friends and supporters of WGBH, Ken and Lynn visited our 

studios last month to talk about the film and Ken’s partnership with PBs and 

the national Constitution Center to foster a national conversation about civility 

and democracy. “there have been many other times in our history when 

civility failed, and there were consequences—the Civil War being the most 

powerful example,” Ken says. “Prohibition is a less pernicious example, but it’s 

an important one nevertheless. the failure of people to talk with each other 

and the absolutism of the various sides contributed to the problem.” 

Carving out a place for civil discourse, pushing past the myths to explore 

the important, often untold stories and helping us connect the dots between 

our past and present are part of WGBH and public broadcasting’s core mission. 

so, too, is providing a showcase for some of the best documentary films in 

the world today. 

For more thought-provoking conversation with Ken, check out our 

exclusive interview with him on page 23, and then tune in Prohibition. 

Original research. Fresh perspectives. Powerful stories. All made possible by 

your generous annual support.

Prohibition: Ken Burns 

Returns 

Advocates of the US Constitution’s 

18 th Amendment that banned the 

manufacture, sale or transportation 

of “intoxicating liquors” had 

high hopes that ridding the nation 

of alcohol would improve society’s 

ills. But after 13 years, America’s 

“Great Experiment” failed. 

Filmmaker Ken Burns joins with 

co-producer Lynn Novick to reveal 

the story behind Prohibition, going far beyond the oft-told tales of 

gangsters, rum runners, flappers and speakeasies to reveal a complicated 

and divided nation in the throes of momentous transformation. 

The series’ first installment, A Nation of Drunkards, traces alcohol’s 

integration into the fabric of American culture. A Nation of Scofflaws 

examines the problems of enforcing the 18 th Amendment. In the final 

episode, A Nation of Hypocrites, Prohibition’s high social cost begins to 

override its promise, and efforts to repeal the amendment ensue. 

Read more about the making of Prohibition in an exclusive interview 

with Ken Burns on page 23.

and a tabloid newspaper. Five people 

were killed and the nation was terrorized. 

seven years later, the most complex 

investigation ever undertaken by the FBi 

ended when the agency identified Army 

scientist dr. Bruce ivins as the sole perpetrator 

of the attacks—after ivins had 

taken his own life. now, new questions are being raised about the 

FBi’s investigative methods and whether ivins really was behind the 

attacks. WGBH’s Frontline, in a co-production with ProPublica and 

mcClatchy newspapers, takes a hard look at the FBi’s investigation of 

the country’s most notorious act of bioterrorism.

telescope images with dazzling 

computer graphics, WGBH’s

Radio Spotlight 

A Conversation with Ken Burns 

For 35 years, documentary filmmaker Ken Burns 

has been an illuminating voice in our national 

conversation—on topics ranging from the Civil 

War to the Statue of Liberty to America’s national 

pastime. This month, Burns and co-producer Lynn 

Novick bring their signature substance and style 

to a painful and little-understood chapter in 

American history, detailing the rise, rule and fall of 

the 18 th Amendment in Prohibition. Their threepart 

PBS series will be featured in an outreach 

partnership with the National Constitution Center 

to foster a national conversation about civility and 

democracy. WGBH’s Tina Vaz recently caught up 

with Burns to talk about Prohibition, public radio 

and the state of our public discourse. 

QWhat drew you to the subject of 


always looking for good stories to tell, 

A 

We’re 

and Prohibition engages so many interesting 

aspects. It’s a story of single-issue political campaigns 

that metastasize with horrible, unintended 

consequences. Of smear campaigns against presidential 

politicians. Of unfunded Congressional 

mandates and the demonization of recent immigrants 

to the US. It’s about a group of people who 

felt they’d lost control of their country and wanted 

to take it back. And, of course, it’s about a colossal 

civic failure that resulted in the only repeal of a 

Constitutional amendment. 

QYou’ve said that each of your films asks: 

Who are we What does Prohibition tell 

you about who we are as Americans 

A 

Like all of our films, Prohibition doesn’t fully 

answer the question of who we are, but it 

deepens our understanding. Prohibition—if it’s 

taught at all—rarely gets past the familiar images 

of flappers, gangsters and gin joints. This film 

offers a closer look at how America’s “Great 

Experiment” was intricately intertwined with 

social factors such as women’s suffrage, 

Emancipation, industrialization and immigration. 

QWhy did you get involved with the 

“Civility and Democracy” project 

A 

Like most Americans, Lynn and I are shocked 

at the way in which our political dialogue has 

degenerated in recent years. There have been 

many other times in our history when civility 

failed, and there were consequences—the Civil 

War being the most powerful example. Prohibition 

is a less pernicious example, but it’s an important 

one nevertheless. The failure of people to talk with 

each other and the absolutism of the various sides 

contributed to the problem. The film seemed a 

logical place to go public with a discussion of 

civility and democracy in our political discourse. 

QWhat role does public radio play in 

advancing civility and democracy 

radio has long been a beacon of 

A 

Public 

reasoned discourse in an otherwise relatively 

cacophonous world. That’s one of the reasons it’s 

still so influential despite the primacy of television 

and other visual media. Public radio consistently 

delivers news in a completely nonpartisan way 

and provides an intelligent and in-depth look at 

the issues. That alone earns it my utmost respect. 

QWhat are some of your public radio 

favorites 

A 

Morning Edition and All Things Considered are 

the two best programs on radio, followed 

closely by Weekend Edition. Once you start there, 

everything else is gravy, from A Prairie Home 

Companion to Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! to the 

myriad local programs, many produced by WGBH, 

that I listen to all the time. 

QProhibition continues your longtime 

collaboration with jazz musician Wynton 

Marsalis. Why is music important to your 

storytelling, and what does Marsalis bring to 

this project 

A 

Music is important because it delivers complex 

thoughts and emotions in an immediate 

and extraordinarily precise way. It’s a major element 

of filmmaking and too often added at the 

end rather than being an organic part. We record 

our music early in our editing process—sometimes 

even before editing begins—so that the 

music can inform it. 

We don’t have enough time to talk about 

Wynton Marsalis’s genius! He’s one of the greatest 

trumpet players and jazz composers on the planet 

today. He is the greatest teacher of jazz, this 

extraordinary American art form that has become 

a worldwide phenomenon. And he’s a very smart 

guy who continually surprises me with the depth 

and profundity of his thought. We’ve been friends 

for nearly 20 years, and I couldn’t imagine leaving 

home without him on a project like Prohibition. 

QYou’ve said that you’re in the “memory 

business.” How is our national memory 

faring in the age of Twitter 

have presidential candidates who don’t 

A 

We 

know the correct state in which the first battle 

of the American Revolution took place, and who 

can’t distinguish our Founding Fathers from our 

Founding Sons. A recent study showed that only 

9 percent of fourth graders could identify a photograph 

of Abraham Lincoln. That’s terrifying. What 

we’re trying to do in public media is to be a bulwark 

against the chaos and entropy that such a 

lack of knowledge fosters. 

QYou’re a longtime friend of WGBH. What 

do you think WGBH adds to the media 

landscape 

A 

Public media produces the best children’s, 

science, nature, drama, public affairs and, I’m 

told, history programming out there today. WGBH 

is the big muscle car coming down the street. It 

has had an enormous influence on the history of 

public media and continues to set the gold standard. 

QWhat’s next for you 

A 

We just finished editing a film on the history 

of the Dust Bowl, which will be out in 2012. 

We’re beginning editing of a film on the Central 

Park jogger case, focusing on the five black and 

Hispanic boys who went to jail for a crime they 

didn’t commit. We’re about halfway through editing 

a first-ever series on Theodore, Franklin and 

Eleanor Roosevelt. And we’re beginning a biography 

of Jackie Robinson and a major history of the 

Vietnam War. 

QAny predictions for the Red Sox 

A 

We’re going to win the World Series. I say it 

every spring!

Sam’s Story 

In a Hispanic Heritage Month special, Arts & Ideas tells the story of a talented 

young jazz musician named Sam, brought to the US at age 5 by his Mexican 

parents. He stays out of trouble, falls in love with playing jazz on the tenor 

sax and gets his diploma with honors—only to discover that for an “illegal,” 

graduation marks a dead end. Though Sam dreams of attending college to 

study jazz, he hides his status from even his closest friends, and can’t legally 

work, drive, get financial aid or even gain admission to some colleges. Arts & 

Ideas follows him from his high school graduation through the following 

summer, as he struggles to raise money to continue his education and 

weighs the risks of working and driving illegally against his own desire to 

achieve his American dream.

All Classical 

WGBH and the BSO: 60 Years of Making Music Together 

“The field is wide open, and I can’t think of an area 

better equipped than Boston to the carrying out of an 

adventurous project of this kind.” 

– Aaron Copland, WGBH Radio, October 6, 1951 

By Ben Roe 

WGBH Managing Director of Classical Services 

A mere three days after the late broadcaster Russ (“The Giants win the pennant!”) 

Hodges uttered one of the most famous lines in radio history, Aaron 

Copland made a pretty audacious “call” of his own. The American composer 

was part of what truly was WGBH’s “Opening Day:” October 6, 1951, when 

WGBH Radio signed on the air with a live broadcast of the Boston Symphony 

Orchestra’s first program of the season. 

Thus was born one of the nation’s pioneering public-media organizations, 

thanks to strong community support and the persistence of a group of 

Boston’s educational and cultural leaders, led by the extraordinary vision and 

indefatigable spirit of Ralph Lowell. Lowell, who led the founding of WGBH, 

himself uttered the first words listeners heard on this fledgling station: 

“WGBH is truly the outgrowth of a community effort…nationwide, 

in fact. Finally, those who have listened to our programs in the past, 

and encouraged us to go forward, are responsible for WGBH. WGBH, 

we hope, will be a station which you will invite into your home as a 

welcome guest. We plan to be on the air every day, from 3 o’clock until 

10; a carrier of the cultural heritage of the world in which our own 

New England shares so abundantly.” 

Sixty years on, the “adventurous project” by, in Copland’s words, the 

“bright new hope of radio stations” has flowered into one of the world’s 

most-recognized public media providers. WGBH is stronger than it ever has 

been before, working tirelessly to fulfill Lowell’s vision of public broadcasting: 

bringing you thoughtful and inspiring programming—everything from 

the in-depth news on 89.7 WGBH, to programs that celebrate creativity and 

the human spirit, on the radio, on television and online. 

Through all of the changes that have transformed Boston, the media 

landscape and the world, there has been one constant on the radio: live 

concert broadcasts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, creating the longest 

continuous relationship between an orchestra and a broadcaster in the 

nation. Now, we’re thrilled to announce that the partnership between WGBH 

and the BSO is about to get even stronger, with more opportunities than ever 

before to hear the Boston Symphony, the Boston Pops and Tanglewood concerts 

on the radio, online and all over New England. 

Beginning this month, 99.5, Boston’s All Classical station, will be airing 

Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts live on Saturday nights, and repeating 

the program on Sunday afternoons. Each broadcast will be available for 

on-demand listening via the new BSO Tanglewood Channel from WGBH at 

bsotanglewood.org. In addition, our broadcast concerts from both 

Symphony Hall and Tanglewood will be available for the first time ever to 

stations throughout the six-state New England region. 

To celebrate this new level of partnership, 

join us for a special broadcast on Thursday 

night, October 6, for a 60 th -anniversary commemorative 

concert from Symphony Hall. 

At 7pm, 99.5 presents a documentary on our 

60 years of BSO broadcasts that will include 

excerpts from the inaugural BSO broadcast. 

Then, live at 8pm, Assistant Conductor Sean 

Newhouse leads the BSO in the Four Sea 

Interludes from Benjamin Britten’s opera Peter 

Grimes, the Symphony No. 2 by Jean Sibelius and the Piano Concerto No. 3 

by Sergei Prokofiev, with French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet as the soloist. 

Ron Della Chiesa will be back in the host’s chair, with the support of WGBH 

producer Brian Bell and an engineering crew led by Jim Donahue. 

For more information about the coming season, check the October BSO listings 

on page 27. Visit bsotanglewood.org for the latest broadcast information

Station Renovation 

WCAI, WGBH’s public radio station serving 

Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, 

is renovating its dilapidated but historic home: 

the 1840s “Captain Davis” house at 3 Water 

Street in Woods Hole, across from the 

Steamship Authority. Built in 1845 for Civil War 

veteran Captain Thomas G. Davis, the Greek 

Revival is undergoing historically accurate restoration or repair of windows, 

siding and roof and an addition of a front deck that has been absent for 

decades. Funded by the Falmouth Community Preservation Committee and 

the generous support of donors, work is slated to be finished by next year. 

The station still needs to raise $100,000 to complete the renovation. Visit 

wgbh.org/wcai/buildingfund to contribute or learn more.

“This is a must-see exhibit for its beauty ...” 

— Chris Bergeron, Salem Gazette 

At the Peabody Essex Museum 

July 30–November 6, 2011 

Immerse yourself in the glorious American landscape 

with 44 magnificent paintings — soaring mountains, 

tranquil meadows and lush river valleys — by Durand, 

Cropsey, Church, Bierstadt and many others. 

Painting the American Vision was originally organized by the New-York Historical Society as The Hudson River 

School: Painting the American Vision, and all works are from that institution’s collection. Exhibition made 

possible in part by a generous grant from the AMG Foundation. Additional support provided by the East India 

Marine Associates (EIMA) of the Peabody Essex Museum. This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from 

the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
