Murrow microphone. Casey Murrow's father, broadcaster Edwin R. Murrow, used this microphone for his legendary radio broadcasts from London rooftops to describe live Germany air raids during World War II. The Freedmans acquired and donated the microphone for permanent display in the Edward R. Murrow room at the National Press Club.
