Music of the 1940s Enlivens New Museum

World War Two was a time of death and destruction, but it was also a time when the spirit of young Americans was kept aloft by the music and dance. Radio stations played swing music as well as ballads sung by Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra and others. That era has been recreated at the newly expanded National World War Two Museum in New Orleans, where it is finding a new audience among people who were born long after the war ended. VOA's Greg Flakus has more from New Orleans.
