WHAT'S NEW IN THE LIBRARY...
BLACK JOURNAL & SOUNDS OF SUMMER
From the archives of WNET, New York's public television station, Historic Films is proud to represent important episodes from two ground-breaking 1960's-70's programs.
BLACK JOURNAL
|
|
Civil Rights Activist - Angela Davis - 1972 |
Black Journal was a public affairs television program created at WNET in 1968 to address issues facing African-American communities. Film crews were sent to New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, New Orleans and Ethiopia. The show won Emmy, Peabody and Russwurm awards. Timely topics such as police brutality, urban renewal, racism, integration and radicalism were covered in detail, with extensive interviews with African-American politicians, musicians, artists and filmmakers. Exclusive interviews with such personalities as ANGELA DAVIS, STOKELY CARMICHAEL, ROBERTA FLACK, ELIJAH MUHAMMAAD, ALICE COLTRANE, MALCOLM X, MELVIN VAN PEEBLES and members of the BLACK PANTHERS are included in this historical collection.
SOUNDS OF SUMMER
This late 1960's series, hosted by STEVE ALLEN, traveled the country filming various summer music festivals. A diverse range of American music genres is covered at historic festivals such as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Memphis Blues Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Smokey Mountain Folk Festival and many others. Rare performances by such iconic performers as JONI MITCHELL, ARLO GUTHRIE, BILL MONROE, THE DOORS, COUNT BASIE, BUKKA WHITE and many others are seen performing for their fans with no interruptions.
Pure music - un-cut and live!
