[@shania4578]

The way he looks at her in awe 🥹 They were so happy to be there. Thank you for this video!!!

[@davidcarr7436]

If you took the time to watch this... PEACE

[@MikeH0714]

Amen! I hope everyone watches to the end. What they did at the close may seem unremarkable by today's standard, but was absolutely radical and risky back then.

[@davidcarr7436]

@MikeH0714 As was the William Shatner/Nichelle Nichols Star Trek kiss or when Petula Clark held Harry Bellefonte's hand during a duet on a TV special or black kids dancing with white kids on an American Bandstand type program. We've come so far, but have so much farther to go.

[@MikeH0714]

​@@davidcarr7436 Yes, but the Star Trek and Belafonte moments happened in 1968. This video aired 5 years before and literally paved the way. As for the kids on Bandstand, that was also significant... but that series didn't air in prime time, and the white and black kids didn't touch each other until much, much later.

I’ve been looking for more content of The Chad Mitchell Trio for a long time now! I’ve recently come across their work and I’ve been hooked! Also, just wondering where you came across this recording and if there’s access to more of their stuff? They also introduced me to Miriam Makeba and I’ve been fascinated with her music ever since! Thanks for sharing this!!

Racism Three white guys one black women

[@lynnlobliner3933]

Only from you. They were an entity. She was an entity. It took 3 of them to do what she could do alone.

[@MikeH0714]

And they are supporting her with background vocals. Also note her band: black bassist, black percussionist, white guitarist. It's about talent, not quotas.

The Chad Mitchell Trio had a clause in their performance contract that they would not play before segregated audiences. I think they were the first performers to do this. It was a very big deal in the early '60s. They were extremely active in the civil rights movement.
