AMERICAN ARCHIVE OF PUBLIC BROADCASTING (AAPB)

The American Archive of Public Broadcasting (https://americanarchive.org/

) is an initiative to digitally

preserve and make accessible public broadcasting radio and television programming, ensuring its

collection, management, preservation, and access. In August 2013, the Corporation for Public

Broadcasting selected WGBH and the Library of Congress as the permanent stewards of the AAPB

collection. To date, over 100,000 historic public broadcasting radio and television programs and original

materials have been digitized and preserved.

The AAPB Online Reading Room provides online access to some of the content that has been digitized

by the AAPB. Researchers can utilize the basic and advance search functions as well as browse by topics

such as Politics, Race and Ethnicity, and Social Issues.

The entire AAPB collection is available for research on location at WGBH and the Library of Congress.

The AAPB also maintains records documenting the existence of 2.5 million assets at public broadcasting

organizations, most of which have not been digitized.

differences can a Negro point which constitute an improvement of the Negro's position? Are conditions

better in the North? If so, why do Negroes continue to live in the South? How much of a role can the

churches play in improving the situation? Is there a difference in attitude between the generations? As

questions like these are discussed, Mr. Hartzell and Dr. Patrick uncover a vivid picture of one of the

Mr. Hartzell, Dr. Patrick, and Mr. Smith drive through the town of York to discover what the differences

are between North and South. They first visit Bratton Plantation, then the Presbyterian Church and some

historic house in York, and finally a mill which flies the Confederate flag, and a Confederate Civil War

memorial. Mr. Smith and Mr. Hartzell discuss some characteristics of the Southern way of life - the

emphasis on casual living, on an unhurried pace, on a retention of past traditions. But, comments Mr.

Smith, this is not always compatible with ways of life in other parts of the country, or with the new

systems coming into the South. The South is more history-conscious than other parts of the country; the

Civil War still is vivid in the minds of Southerners, and any developments in the future will be based on

past history. Participant: John Smith, County Health Officer, local historian, York, South Carolina.

Continuing their tour of the South, Mr. Hartzell and Dr. Patrick talk to Mrs. Blanche Carroll, active

member of her church and woman's club in York, South Carolina. With her they comment on problems

connected with segregation in the South, including such questions as the duties of the church in educating

the community, how long she believes the present unsettled relationship will last, and what she thinks will

help minimize the friction. Mr. Hartzell also talks to a member of the School Board, Mr. John Marion,

and to the manager of a cotton mill, Mr. John Benfield. These two men join Mr. Hartzell and Dr. Patrick

in considering topics including the effects of the Supreme Court decision on desegregated schools, and

Federal moves to insure equal employment opportunities. Past Southern experience and practices are

contrasted with present situations and the changes in attitudes of civic leaders, the average townsman, and

the younger members of the community. Dr. Patrick concludes by commenting on the contrasts between

the old and the new South, as these have been discussed in the program. Participants: Mrs. Blanche

Carroll, church and club-woman; John Marion, attorney, School Band member; John Benfield, cotton mill

manager.

Seminar on American Civilization. Minorities and Segregation. (WGBH, 1959). Moderated by Max

Lerner.

MAVIS: 2328405

1 reel of 1, 30min, b&w, sd, 16mm NET/PBS Television Collection FCC 1109

Max Lerner discusses with five Brandeis students' questions concerning minorities and segregation. A

few of the topics to be discussed are: is segregation in the South the result of prejudice or the result of

social order; is the South's attitude a rigid "defense mechanism" due to the pressures of the North: is the

fear of inter-marriage the greatest deterrent to equality in the South; is there segregation in other minority

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," is the theme of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's

program. Dr. King, who sprang into national prominence for his leadership of the Montgomery, Alabama,

segregated bus boycott, is interviewed by Negro lawyer and Minneapolis civic leader Municipal Court

Judge L. Howard Bennet. The two men discuss in detail the struggle which still faces the American Negro

in his effort for equal treatment. Despite progressive legislation, there is still a great deal of racial

discrimination, and Dr. King and Judge Bennett quietly and firmly analyze the tasks awaiting both

Negroes and white men in completing the process of integration. Dr. King says more positive action in

the Federal and local government is required to solve these problems constructively. Dr. King ends the

program by commenting, "The more we break down the forces of segregation and discrimination, the

more we can build up the forces of democracy. This is the strongest weapon we have against

Communism."

The issue of civil rights -- the rights which a citizen enjoys because of, and despite, the existence of a

government -- has preoccupied Americans since the days of the Constitutional Convention in 1789,

indeed since the Declaration of Independence stated it authors' belief that "all men ... are endowed by

their Creator with certain inalienable rights ... and that to secure these rights, Governments are established

among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." The only alteration in this

idea, in the civil rights issue, has come with the widening scope of its meaning, as more and more diverse

groups within the nation have risen to claim their share of these rights. At this moment in America's

history, at issue is the Negro's right to the same privileges and responsibilities as are enjoyed by his fellow

citizens.

further conflict between races? A comparison is drawn between the white-Negro relationship in

the South and the Jew-Gentile relationship in the United States. Public polls show that there is

Are there different kinds of contact? Dr. Pettigrew answers these and other important questions

position of labor songs in folklore today with particular emphasis on origins. The program deals with the

protest songs of the 1900's, the changes they underwent in the 1930s because of the Depression and

related political issues, and their revival in the 1960's as a form of peaceful protest. A rare film of Huddie

Ledbetter, better known as "Leadbelly," is shown. ("Leadbelly" was a rough and tumble folksinger who

spanned the recent history of the Negro secular song. He was born in the late nineteenth century in

Louisiana and died in 1949 in New York City.) Mr. Seeger sings "No More Shall I Work in a Factory,"

"Pastures of Plenty," "Which Side Are You On," "Back of the Bus," and "We Shall Overcome."

Members of the Philadelphia Chapter of CORE sing along with Seeger. The cameras then visit a typical

coffeehouse near Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges on the Main Line where the sons and daughters of

the well-to-do sing the old protest songs.

"You ask me how it was with us in slavery time. Well, I'll tell you. Now everything I tell you is the truth,

but there’s plenty I can't tell you..." His dramatic and choral work starring Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, and

the choral group "The Voices Inc." is a portrait of life under slavery. Based on the actual testimony of

former slaves, the tragic and sometimes humorous experiences of life in the old South is told - joining the

white folk's church, outwitting the master, going to the Fourth of July barbecue, working in the fields, and

finally, being liberated by the victorious Yankee troops. ("Everybody was singing. We was all walking on

golden clouds)." Anecdote and song are backed by the narrator's sobering historical account ("In 1860 a

New Orleans prime field hand sold for $1,800"... "In the 18th century 7 million Negroes were abducted

from Africa)." The chorus sings the old Negro spirituals that sprang from this era, "Good News," "The

Chariot's Coming," "Deep River," "Go Down Moses," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and others.

In this program John Williams, a Mississippi born Negro novelist is seen on an odyssey to Africa to

explore his ancestral roots. "In Yoruba, one of the languages of Nigeria," he explains, "I would be called

'Omowale', or 'the child returns home'." Williams explores the relationship of the American Negro to

Africa and Africans in visits to Badagary, once a major slave port in Nigeria: at tribal religious

ceremonies in which his ancestors once participated, and in interviews with Nigerian novelists Cyprian

Ekwensi and Chinua Achebe, and with James Meredith, the first Negro to attend the University of

Mississippi, now a student at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. Williams also talks of the "back to

Africa" movement spurred by men such as Marcus Garvey, and observes, at the end of his own

pilgrimage: "Once you understand your roots and place them in proper historical perspective, you really

have no reason to go home again - especially to one seven generations removed from you."

Americans in the years since the momentous Supreme Court school decision of 1954. Footage includes

set through excerpts from the writings of outstanding Negro poets and authors such as Ralph Ellison,

Lorraine Hansberry, and James Baldwin. And there are other words that tell the story of the decade: "In

the field of public education the doctrine of "'separate by equal' has no place" (The Supreme Court

decision, 1954); "Mississippi is a part of the United States. And whether whites like it or not, I don't plan

to live here as a parasite. The things that I don't like I will try to change" (Medgar Evers, Mississippi

This first broadcast of PBL will examine the black/white dialogue (or lack of it) in this country. It is

visible in Gary, Indiana, Cleveland, Ohio, and in Boston, Massachusetts. In all three election contests, the

question of race is playing a major part. They are, in essence, various sides of the question of black power

through ballots in the north; Chicago Confrontation: PBL presents the way it is in the North. A black

nationalist leader takes the audience on a filmed tour of the Chicago west side and then meets in

confrontation a mixed white and Negro audience to present the white and black viewpoint of what is

happening in American northern cities; Day of Absence: Play by Douglas Turner Ward, played white face

by American Negro Ensemble Co. PBL will present a play written by a Negro, Douglas Turner Ward,

entitled "Day of Absence." This powerful statement of Negro attitudes is acted by an all Negro cast of the

American Negro Ensemble Company and is a fantasy-comedy comment by the Negro on his view of life

in the Rural South. It is played in white face by the Negro cast and the story line revolves around the

fantastic assumption that all the Negroes disappear for one day from a Southern town.

black ... when I think back to my years as a Pullman car waiter, flophouse porter, piano player, in a hotel

at sixteen ... I know what I think I don't want for my children or their children ... I can only hope that

the weapons they choose will be tempered with love instead of hatred."

Contains: Mexican-American: The Invisible Minority: "The Invisible Minority" ranges over the

Southwest, where most of the nation's five million Americans of Mexican descent and birth live, from the

ghettos of Southern California to Denver, from the San Joaquin Valley to Beeville in Texas. The

documentary chronicles efforts to win not only a better material life, but to maintain and develop an

ethnic identity and a sense of dignity. From Cesar Chavez and his United Farm Workers Organizing

Committee in the California vineyards to Reies Lopez Tijerina and his Federal Alliance of Free City

States in Arizona and New Mexico to Rudolfo "Corky" Gonzalez and his Crusade for Justice in Denver,

the broadest traces the development of the sense of "La Raiza," the almost mystical notion of the history

and destiny of a race that had attained high civilization on this continent thousands of years before

Columbus.

The Battle of East St. Louis' examines how a sensitivity training session involving eighteen of the angriest

citizens of East St. Louis, Illinois, may have helped to allay a racial crisis last spring."--1969 Peabody

Digest. Reporter Hughes Rudd reviews the troubled history of the city of East St. Louis. Policemen Tom

participated in the three-day sensitivity training session. The participants divided into two groups of nine

each; this program followed one group. Includes footage of various discussion sessions, and of a role-

Mohawk Nation.

1 reel of 1, 40min, b&w, sd, 16mm LC Purchase Collection FCA 8513

The Challenge for Change project aimed to "promote citizen participation in the solution of social

problems," among which minority problems were considered crucial. As a result, Indian film crews were

trained and equipped to document issues important in their lives. One such crew, led by Mike Mitchell

and aided by additional Challenge for Change teams, recorded the measures taken by the Mohawks of the

Akwesasne-St. Regis Reservation to protest violation of a 1794 treaty guaranteeing them free passage

between the U.S. and Canada. When government officials imposed a $1 toll to cross the international

bridge linking the two countries, the Mohawks braved blustery winter weather to block traffic on the

highway leading to the overpass. Cameras chronicle, in cinema verité style, the ensuing confrontations

with police and the arrest of Mohawk leaders. The film is constructed to examine the nature of the

violence and the events that led up to it in order to form a complete portrait of what happened. It was

instrumental in winning the Mohawk people a government hearing and imbuing their movement with

renewed solidarity.

This film documents the continuing struggles of the Oglala Sioux to regain the Black Hills of South

Dakota, guaranteed them by the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie. These lands, confiscated by an act of

Congress, have been opened to commercial and recreational use causing grievous disruptions of

traditional Sioux life. Central to tribal members' refusal to accept $105 million in government

compensation is their religious belief that the Black Hills, which form part of the "sacred hoop" circling

through Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska, are holy lands to be preserved

inviolate. Invoking the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978, the Sioux have petitioned the

Supreme Court to protect Bear Butte and other sacred sites from exploitation. Activists in the fight for

sovereignty include Tony Fast Horse, executive director of the Lakota Oglala Sioux tribe, attorney Mario

Gonzalez and Sioux elder Matthew King, founder of the Yellow Thunder encampment, a movement

dedicated to Sioux autonomy and spirituality.

Salamanca is the only city in the United States that is situated entirely on land owned by Native

Americans. For 99 years, the townspeople have rented the land upon which their homes stand from the

Seneca Indians for $1 a year. They have gotten used to their right to live and to do business on Indian

property. But on February 19, 1991, the lease expired. The Seneca Nation felt that it had been badly

exploited by the old terms, and now insisted on huge increases--or else it would take back the land. Many

of the townspeople were outraged at higher rents, especially as the town was suffering from a depressed

economy. The film follows the five years of negotiation, as each side heatedly defended its position.

Archival footage, historical photographs, and interviews help tell the story of two communities caught in

a web of historical injustice. Eventually, a landmark agreement was hammered out which enabled the

town to survive. Among its terms is $60 million in reparation from the Federal government to the

Senecas, the first Native American tribe to receive this acknowledgement of past wrongs.

The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution abolished slavery. But it also included a provision many

people don't know about and that is what this documentary brings to view. "Neither slavery nor

involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted,

shall exist." That exception justifies the use of forced labor as long as the laborer is a convict. This

documentary makes the case that inclusion of this loophole is only one of the justifications for continuing

domination of people of color. The 13th Amendment was ratified in 1865 and director Ava DuVernay

supports her thesis through the use of both historical footage and interviews. Film clips of former

President Richard Nixon call for 'Law & Order' which has resulted in exploding prison populations. The

U.S. only has 5% of the world's population but has 25% of the world's prisoners. This Law & Order

policy enabled government to imprison blacks. John Ehrlichman was Assistant to President Nixon for

Domestic Affairs: "Did we know we were lying? Of course we did." The documentary makes the case

that those drug busts, Jim Crow laws and segregation are all variations of domination of black America.

Currently the 'Prison/Industrial Complex' is just a new version of the same old problem. Here DuVernay

returns to the 13th Amendment and makes the case that the system cannot be dealt with by making small

changes. The system itself has to be rebuilt.
