you may know that this is based on a true story in which Sinatra went to an integrated school up near Harlem, I think it was, to stop race fighting. One attendee of that school was Sonny Rollins.

it is interesting, however, that that little film NEVER mentions race.

IIRC the lyrics to this were written by Abel Meropool - who also wrote the lyric to Strange Fruit. After the execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg he adopted and raised their children.
