A Free Man of Color
Kurt Andersen talks with John Guare about his new Broadway play A Free Man of Color, an epic farce about the Louisiana Purchase. Child psychiatrist Robert Coles remembers meeting six year-old Ruby Bridges, the girl who integrated the New Orleans schools in 1960. And indie-rock kingpin Jack White pays tribute to Loretta Lynn and her signature song “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”
