Dorothy Thompson (1893-1961) was an American broadcast and print journalist, best known for her work as a foreign correspondent and her column "On the Record" that appeared in the New York Herald Tribune from 1936-1941. This is a recording of the campaign speech made by Thompson over the Mutual Broadcasting System, October 29, 1944, New York City. Copies of the speech were attainable from The National Independent Committee for Roosevelt and Truman, Hotel Roosevelt. This is a tape recording of one of those 78 rpm transcription discs. Very poor audio quality. No Pacifica network broadcast dates available.
This recording has been digitally preserved as part of Pacifica's American Women Making History and Culture: 1963-1982 grant preservation project, and is available for research and reference .
