About Harper’s Voice:
The former Sr. Vice President for Education and Programming for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and Retired President of Fisk University said this about Harper: “One evening, I played one of her voiceovers to a roomful of guests, critics, educators, and administrators who listened with rapt attention to the several voices that came across the loudspeaker. At the end, I was asked: ‘Could we meet these extraordinary actors?’ I responded by saying: ‘When she returns from California, I will be delighted to introduce you.” The host went on to say that her guests were shocked to learn that the many voices that had mesmerized them, came from one woman.
