WorldView Episode 17: William Schuman
William Howard Schuman—named after President William Howard Taft—was born in Manhattan in 1910. He played banjo, violin, and string bass as a child, forming his own musical group in highschool; the band performed at weddings at bar mitzvahs throughout New York City.
