世界和平是伯恩斯坦特別關注的議題。 1980年，他在約翰霍普金斯大學發表演講；1983年，他在紐約聖約翰神明大教堂發表演講，闡述了他對全球和諧的願景。 1985年，他率領歐洲共同體青年管弦樂團前往雅典和廣島進行「和平之旅」巡演，以紀念原子彈爆炸40週年。 1989年12月，在柏林圍牆拆除之際，伯恩斯坦指揮了歷史性的“柏林慶祝音樂會”，音樂會分別在柏林圍牆兩側舉行。這些音樂會是前所未有的合作之舉，樂團成員包括來自前東德、西德、以及二戰後瓜分柏林的四個國家的音樂家。伯恩斯坦自國際特赦組織成立之初就給予支持。為了支持這項事業，他在1987年設立了費利西亞·蒙特阿萊格雷·伯恩斯坦基金，以紀念他於1978年去世的妻子。

自1990年去世以來，倫納德·伯恩斯坦在當代音樂界的英雄地位依然熠熠生輝，意義非凡。 2017年至2019年，倫納德·伯恩斯坦辦公室邀請世界各地的表演者演奏他的音樂，以紀念倫納德·伯恩斯坦誕辰一百週年，這是一場規模盛大的生日慶典。他的教育模式「藝術學習」（Artful Learning）在美國各地的學校中得到應用。伯恩斯坦的傳奇人生也透過多部紀錄片和兩部電影得以延續：史蒂芬史匹柏執導的《西區故事》（2021）和布萊德利庫柏執導的《大師》（2022）。

World peace was a particular concern of Bernstein’s. Speaking at Johns Hopkins University in 1980 and at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York in 1983, he described his vision of global harmony. His Journey for Peace tour to Athens and Hiroshima with the European Community Youth Orchestra in 1985 commemorated the 40th anniversary of the atom bomb. In December 1989, Bernstein conducted the historic "Berlin Celebration Concerts" on both sides of the Berlin Wall, as it was being dismantled. The concerts were unprecedented gestures of cooperation, and the orchestra included musicians representing the former East Germany, West Germany, and the four powers that had partitioned Berlin after World War II. Bernstein supported Amnesty International from its inception. To benefit the effort in 1987, he established the Felicia Montealegre Bernstein Fund in memory of his wife who died in 1978.

Leonard Bernstein's heroic role in contemporary musical life has retained its luster and its meaning since his death in 1990. From 2017 – 2019, The Leonard Bernstein Office engaged presenters worldwide to perform his music for the Leonard Bernstein Centennial, a birthday celebration of epic proportion. His educational model, Artful Learning, is practiced in schools throughout the United States. Bernstein’s larger-than-life legacy also endures in several documentaries and two major motion picture films: Stephen Spielberg’s West Side Story (2021) and Bradley Cooper’s Maestro (2022).

When Leonard Bernstein partied with the Black Panthers

29 March 2018

As a special Front Row programme on Leonard Bernstein marks the centenary of his birth, we recount the fashionable soiree at the composer’s apartment in which the wealthy elite of 1970s New York mingled with members of the Black Panther Party. Here was the birth of 'radical chic'.

On 14 January 1970, Leonard Bernstein, the famed New York Philharmonic conductor and West Side Story composer, hosted a gathering along with his wife Felicia in their apartment in Manhattan's Upper East Side. In attendance were some of the wealthiest movers and shakers of the New York arts world, including Otto Preminger, Sidney and Gail Lumet, and Barbara Walters, as well as several members of the Black Panther Party.

The Black Panthers were an organisation fighting for equal rights for African-Americans, but whose radical socialist rhetoric was the cause of much concern for many Americans, and particularly the American government. FBI Director J Edgar Hoover called the Black Panther Party "the greatest threat to the internal security of the country" – for them to be invited to the home of an American celebrity was very strange indeed.

'I have to turn this prize against itself'—John Berger on accepting the Booker Prize for Fiction, 23 November 1972

In 1972, John Berger won the Booker Prize for Fiction for his novel G. He shared half of the proceeds with the Black Panthers, "the black movement with the socialist and revolutionary perspective that I find myself most in agreement with in this country". The other half funded A Seventh Man, his study of migrant workers in Europe.

Stokely Carmichael's Black Power Address

In late 1966, Stokely Carmichael was arrested during a Mississippi rally in the aftermath of the Selma campaign. On his release, he advocated Black Power, representing a break with the theory of nonviolent resistance. Strongly influenced by the work of Frantz Fanon and his landmark book Wretched of the Earth, along with others such as Malcolm X, Carmichael led SNCC to become more radical. He resigned as chairman in May 1967 and became more closely aligned with the Black Panther Party. To celebrate the anniversary of his birth, we publish the text of his speech delivered at the University of California at Berkeley expounding on his aims forty-nine years ago in October 1966.
