This episode of All Ears is a musical response to the various opinions and passions that continue to drive America's march to true democracy. 

The program begins with an invocation by Mahalia Jackson, and includes works by Alan Hovhaness, music sung by the Morehouse College Glee Club, as well as compositions by Lou Harrison, and Debussy.

Centering the episode is a piece entitled Apartment House 1776. In the spirit of true democracy, composer John Cage created this piece to mark America's bicentenary. It presents solutions to issues of intolerance and prejudice.
