Common to Perform at Democratic National Convention

 
 

Common, as depicted in this photo by Hugh Bell, is among the list of performers that will appear this week at the Democratic National Convention.

GME is also happy to share some of it’s images of historical Democratic party icons as photographed by Raimondo Borea.


GME also presents from our company’s archive this rare audio clip from a field recording during John F. Kennedy’s 1960 Presidential Campaign. In his remarks, JFK encapsulates William Faulkner’s famous observation that "The past is never dead. It's not even past" as he speaks to the enduring social values of the Democratic party, versus those of the Republican party in the United States. Sixty years later this divide between the two political parties is even more profoundly evident.

Gartenberg Media is the exclusive representative for the estates of Hugh Bell and Raimondo Borea, and owns original film and audio records from JFK’s Presidential campaign.
