The house I live in.

Other videos (1)
Frank Sinatra stars in a dramatic appeal for racial and religious tolerance. He sings two songs, one entitled The House I Live In, and impresses a group of boys who have been harassing a Jewish youngster with the real meaning of democracy for all.

Sinatra, apparently playing himself, takes a break from a recording session and steps outside to smoke a cigarette. He sees more than ten boys chasing a Jewish boy and intervenes, first with dialogue, then with a short speech. His main points are that we are "all" Americans and that one American's blood is as good as another's.
