Geneva Handy Southall is the author of “Blind Tom, The Black Pianist Composer: Continually Enslaved.”  She tells Jim Fleming about this nineteenth century American prodigy who could reproduce any sound he heard.  Long after slavery officially ended, Blind Tom was still exhibited to make money for his white “guardians.”
