| Abstract | "'Significant.' 'Moving.' 'Devastating.' These are words that were used to describe this news report on African-American history when it aired in July of 1968 ... Featured segments spotlight the changing image of black Americans through film and TV clips ranging from The birth of a nation, to Amos 'n' Andy, to Guess who's coming to dinner; Freedom Day School in Philadelphia, where African-American children were taught about their heritage and racial identity; and some of America's less familiar black heroes, including Daniel Hale Williams, the first doctor to perform open heart surgery in America"--Container. |
