OPEN POST: Hosted By This 1955 Chevy Bel Air With Autumn Leaves On The Radio!

 (Full disclosure: I'm not 100% sure if this Chevy is a '55 or a '56, but I chose '55 just because, so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

1955 was an eventful year. A 15-year-old Black girl named Claudette Colvin didn't give up her seat on a bus to a white woman. She was pulled off the bus and physically harassed as she was taken to the police station, but she became a plaintiff in a case that led to bus segregation being ruled unconstitutional.

The Broadway smash hit "Peter Pan" starring Mary Martin was shown in its entirety on NBC, becoming the most-watched TV special up to that time - and it was IN LIVING COLOR!

In 1955, Marian Anderson became the first Black performer to sing at the Metropolitan Opera in NYC, and Nat King Cole had a gigantic hit with a lovely little song that seems appropriate for this time of year:

Happy Open Post darlings!
