Sammy Davis, Jr.: I've Gotta Be Me Opening Night Gala Event
Sammy Davis, Jr. had the kind of career that was indisputably legendary, and dizzying in its scope and scale. Yet, his life was complex, complicated and contradictory. Davis strove to achieve the American Dream in a time of racial prejudice and shifting political territory. He frequently found himself bracketed by the bigotry of white America and the distaste of black America; he was the most public black figure to embrace Judaism, thereby yoking his identity to another persecuted minority.
