You can thank the democrats for KKK and Jim Crow. All of it

We still have a Jim Crow justice system. Lady justice has her blinder off. She sees colour. "Freedom of press" sees colour. That is not acceptable in 2022. That is the very definition of systemic racism. From the law to the press.they

@ donnachung...I'm glad u feel this way...I was actually one of the 46 ppl...that it happened too...in the videos I'm the one they call Joe Henderson...but my full name is Cleveland Joe Henderson..thank u for commenting!!!

God rest here soul she stood for justice unlike most whites back

Only one comment, interesting. This America, this country lies in a sad place. Minorities will never acquire equality because white America will continue to find a way to underhandedly marginalize people of color. What's even sadder though, many African Americans don't know their history and how deeply complex this system works are based on that history. And the mass media is at the forefront of impressing white Americans views and prospective into minorities psyche, keeping African Americans feeling inferior.

They speak as if it were an American problem. / People have [understandably] been cautious of others from somewhere outside of their immediate environment for centuries

Wonderful! Thanks!

There was an excellent documentary on Dr. Rustin on NPR. I had heard of him, but never knew all that he had done.

wealth gap explained in 6 min

can anyone make an interesting comparison between her and Rosa Parks?

Awesome video!

Came here because of "Show Me a Hero" on HBO. Awesome show so far.

I LOVE you guys. I will never ever say "white" or "black" again.

This was originally recorded in 1991.

Amazing. This should be shown in every middle school. But, whites would never allow that to happen.

We lived on Sellinger St. The looting got to within one block of our house. I was 15 at the time. It was a different time, we were told it was a race riot. As I grew older I realized it was a riot against police brutality. Fortunately the looting and burning stayed south of Herman st. If it had gone a block or two north on Joseph it would have gotten real ugly quick. We were armed to the teeth and scared. A couple days later I remember reading in the paper it was caused by communist agitaters, which is just ridiculous,

My grandfather was in the National Guard at the time, and he was called to the riots.

Tell me she don't look like Queen Latifah in the original pic

Very strong woman. Those that came in her path could do nothing but love her. RIP Big Momma!!!

RIP Ma Rainey and CocoTaylor

She had a beautiful singing voice!!!

genes don't care about race but racist care about genes. anyone who believe race to be genetic is delusional at best and ignorant. the people most concerned with race do it for political reasons.

shits fucked

As songs come out naturally, it reminds me well of its 40th reunion in 2000, in which I was the only one from Japan. I am sorry to have missed this time. Hope to make it in 2020!

Bayard Rustin was a nonviolent civil rights leader in the 1960’s. He didn't support the Black Power movement, believing it was important that we work together, regardless of race or color. And because of that,Rustin’s way of nonviolence was unpopular to the Black Power groups like the Black Panthers. Rustin helped fight against racism in many ways,like from the beginning. In 1947, Rustin helped organize many of the first of the Freedom Rides, testing ruling by the supreme court with their discrimination in interstate travel rules. Although he did not start the freedom rides, he had helped with it. Rustin had intended to travel to India to meet with Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 to learn about nonviolent resistance and the ways of bringing peace upon people. Although,before he could make his trip, Gandhi was assassinated. Rustin still made his trip and would meet with leaders of the Gandhian movement.He brought their skills and strategy to America used the techniques he'd learned and applied them to his activist philosophies.He even taught the world famous Martin Luther King Jr. In February 1956, when Bayard Rustin arrived in Montgomery to assist with the up and coming bus boycotts, Martin Luther King, Jr. had not completely,(or quite barley) embraced nonviolence. Even though King is known as the man who fought with nonviolent strategy,it was Rustin that had taught him the ways of Gandhi. Rustin started becoming quite popular among other leaders of the fight. Thats why King and others knew he was a powerful force for civil rights, and he was put in place of organizing the March on Washington, one of (if not the most) the most important protests and rallys of the era.

I will remember and share, Please watch and share everyone.

Good historical primer on the practice of "redlining" and it's generational effects on wealth creation.

Where can I get this dvd?...

He seemed like a great man

He was an absolute hero - it is truly saddening that he is so unknown

@DannySmith300 why?

I was asked once that if I could meet in person, anybody, live or dead, who would it be? I would love to have a drink and a little social conversation with the great Ma Rainy. Can you imagine being able to talk to her? You can be certain that for once in my life I would be listening more than talking. ;)

Does anybody know what the name of the song that is being played at 3:20 ? and the other songs?

Great book

@KeciaNoel im glad that there is a second part of this documentary...im currently using this film as part of my social work education and I think it really emphasized many aspects about family relations and the so-called 'system' that is not known to the public. good luck !

Do you have this entire documentary? My mother graduated from Hoxie in 1962, and she saw the original airing and they show a photograph of her in part of it. She is gone now and I would like to show her grandchildren. Please let me know how you got it!!! Thank you so!!!
