This anthology highlights 50 essays that were broadcast on Edward R. Murrow’s This I Believe radio series in the 1950s. This soft-cover book features thought-provoking statements from President Harry S. Truman, choreographer Martha Graham, baseball star Jackie Robinson, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, actor Lionel Barrymore, anthropologist Margaret Mead, and other luminaries of the 20th century. More than a fascinating time capsule of belief, the essays collected in this volume will speak to you across the decades—and help you consider your own beliefs of today.
