Also, while this concert pianist/humanitarian was born in Winston-Salem NC, he grew up in Buffalo and primarily Syracuse: Celebration of Life Program for the Late Dr. Robert S. Pritchard II |
An interesting part of the write up: "As a young child, Pritchard moved with his family to New York. Along with many other African American families, the Pritchards left the South in search of a better life in the industrial North. Pritchard’s mother ultimately made the decision to leave so that her children would not be raised in the South’s harsh racial climate. The Pritchards settled in Buffalo which, at the time, offered one of the most promising job markets for African Americans. They were unable to find work, however, and moved to Syracuse. Starling, Pritchard’s father, found employment in the city’s burgeoning steel mills. Pritchard was also exposed to music at an early age. He was introduced to the piano by his father. (His father likely worked at a precursor of Crucible Steel in Solvay and I believe Mr. Pritchard lived in Baldwinsville for a while) This page in the 1945 Syracuse Central HS(now ITC) yearbook appears to show what may be siblings that were in the Orchestra and Glee Club at the time: https://www.classmates.com/siteui/ye...247275?page=30
