Posted by Jason Harper on Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 3:33 PM

In this 10-minute short from 1945, a 29- or 30-year-old Frank Sinatra sings a couple of stringy ballads and lectures a venomous schoolboy rabble on diversity. He even quotes statisticamabobs.

FRANK: "Do you know what this wonderful country is made of? It's made up of a hundred different kind of people. And a hundred different ways of talking. And a hundred different ways of going ta church. But they're all American ways."
