AADL Talks To: Ken Burns, Documentary Filmmaker
In this episode, AADL Talks To Ken Burns. Ken is a documentary filmmaker known for his critically acclaimed films exploring all facets of American culture. Ken reflects on growing up and coming of age in Ann Arbor during the 1960s, and how this period of intense political and cultural activity mixed with family tragedy charted his journey. He takes us down the streets we remember -- past restaurants and theaters that have come and gone -- and through a back alleyway during the 1969 South University Street Riot. Along the way, he highlights the people, places, and vibrant musical and cinema culture that left its mark on his work.

Basketball Booth At The Tappan Junior High School Benefit Carnival, February 1952
Year:
1952
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, February 22, 1952
Caption:
ALMOST A BASKET: The expressions on these Tappan Junior High students' faces indicate that the girl in the center almost shot a basket. The basketball booth was one of many games in Tappan's benefit carnival last night at the school. The net (at right), stretching down to the contestant, was placed so the basketball would roll back to the "shooter" for a return try. Proceeds of the penny carnival and refreshment and bake sale will be used to help buy a movie camera and bleachers for the school. Many pupils and parents attending the party came from as far as Hamburg.

Tappan Junior High School Benefit Carnival, February 1952
Year:
1952
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, February 22, 1952
Caption:
PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE: These are just some of the nearly 1,800 people - students, parents and teachers of Tappan Junior High School - who crowded into the school last night for a benefit carnival. As school interest grew in the cooperative event, the committee realized it would have to be limited to Tappan people only. Perhaps some of the interest came from pre-war prizes for games and refreshments - nothing inside the building cost more than a nickel.
