Doggett was commissioned in 2015 by The Recorded Sound and Motion Picture division of The Library of Congress to produce a Pilot Series focused on Race, Music, Film and Message at the dawn of The 20th Century. Doggett's Archive of Early Sound recordings{1899-1935}, rare Performing Arts ephemera and background in Silent Film from UCLA formed the source material for this engaging Pilot Series.
Previously scheduled to launch during Fall 2017 on The National Jukebox, the web portal for The Library of Congress' Recorded Sound and Motion Picture Division, http://www.loc.gov/jukebox/, the project launch is on hold due to fears associated with the rise of the Alt Right and Supremacy movements.
Yet, the contextualized topic of race, historical media and popular culture is a hot topic of great interest as it relates to #AnthemProtest and #Charlottesville
For 2018, I have a new performance lecture that addresses the legacies of The Civil War on Race and Technology in popular entertainment at the dawn of the 20th century.

Rave Review of Journal Feature by former San Francisco Opera Chorus member, Ken Malucelli
" I am continually impressed by the excellent feature articles in The Argonaut, the quarterly published by the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society, but Bill Doggett’s outstanding piece on African American concert and opera artists struck so close to home, I had to comment.
Being a native San Franciscan growing up in the Excelsior district during the ‘40s-‘50s, I also had the privilege of being one of the first members of the San Francisco Boys Chorus, right off the bat an ethnically diverse group. In addition, my Italian father and his brothers owned and operated a grocery store in the heart of the then-predominately-black Fillmore district. And last, I was a Professional Chorister with San Francisco Opera from 1972-1989, and became friendlly with several singers mentioned in Mr. Doggett’s article.
The photos of Leontyne Price reminded me of being on stage with her during one of her last performances of Aïda; the photo of Leona Mitchell brought to mind her lovely Micaela (Carmen) and Liù (Turandot), and the mention of Reri Grist reminded me of the photo I have of her and me posing in costume (Manon, 1981) for a magazine article.
Bill Doggett’s piece should be reprinted in SF Opera’s season programs as well as in other arts magazines and publications. It is a vital link to the histories, both political and cultural, of African American artists."
