No Hiding Place (1963) | George C Scott Cicely Tyson Ruby Dee Earle Hyman Blockbusting White Flight

[@darrylbailey8397]

I was 10yrs old when this first aired on TV in Detroit, here is one of my most memorable events, at 9yrs old, I joined the Nation Of Islam, and went through a "Black Phase" and I thought Cicely Tyson was so beautiful with her short "Afro" hair style, she got so much attention that she was on the cover of TV guide, Ebony and Jet, what struck me as odd (for a 10yr old at least) why were so many black women so upset with Ms. Tyson for wearing her hair the way it actually grew, and looking black, almost all my friends thought that she was very attractive, even the little white boys, and as I recall, only black women seem to be upset about her hair, I on the other hand loved it, and I remember my Mom started wearing her hair like Ms.Tyson, wow. Thank you Reelblack for posting this, you made me cry a little as I began to think about my childhood and those pivotal moments that helped shape the person I am today, thank you 🥰

[@MAGAISKLAN]

I am younger than you but I can only imagine the criticsm Cicely got from Black women and especially Black men. Sadly, Black men have always criticized a Black woman's choice to wear her hair short and natural, then and now.

[@darrylbailey8397]

@@MAGAISKLAN I will have to slightly disagree with you about the hair thing, the people who really raked Ms. Tyson over the coals were BLACK WOMEN! Many articles came out where black women were saying that Ms. Tyson was setting black women back a hundred years! This is why this you tube channel "ReelBlack" is important to me, and should be important to all black people in America, It is History, It is American history, now I'm going to give you a piece of history that you don't know, when the uproar over Ms.Tyson's hair became a big issue, the acting minister at Muhammad's Mosque No. 1 min. Philbert X Malcolm's brother, got together with some of the men at The Shrine Of The Black Madonna, they made flyers of beautiful black women in their natural state (hair) so over 100 young men and boys, I was one on them was passing out flyers to any and all black people, now here is where I disagree with you, not one man said anything negative about black women and their hair, not a one (at least to me and the group I was with passing out flyers) but I was stunned at how many women were up set about the whole issue, I never will forget what one woman told me and a group of young black boys "why should I wear my hair like that, looking like an African, I ain't no African" this hurt my feelings because when my mother first started wearing her hair natural, the first thing I said to her was that she looked like an African princess, her eyes watered up and she gave me a hug and a kiss, I have many stories, but will end it here, peace be with you

[@aishawf]

@@darrylbailey8397 wow....this is an important piece of history- thank you for sharing😊 How times have changed there is a lot of disrespect towards black women's hair nowadays....I am a 33 year old black woman from London, UK and I have always stayed in my natural state and I love it!!!! Again thank you for sharing 🖤

[@gigigiseleworld]

Hello..Only in African countries before 2009 ..did anyone really pay attention to natural,fine or course hair. In the USA women of color are pressured to compete with Anglo-Saxon females. Now Asian and Latino females feel the pressure to bleach their hair blonde. It looks strange when petite latino or oriental females have bad blonde dye jobs. Ethnic women will NEVER ..be white.. We can cgange our NAMES,NOSES,HAIR and BLEACH our skin... we are what we are...You just have to learn to role with the punches of "Bigots"..! Laugh off those sick people..

I was born in NYC and never saw this series. I was being raised in a catholic home for girls in Peekskill N.Y. . The nuns never let us see those kind of T.V. shows. We watched stuff like the KIng and I, Mary Poppins, South Pacific and movies about Jesus and saints. When I came out of that home after 9 years I knew nothing about racism. They were all races of girls in that home. We knew no hate. My last year was when I started seeing a change in the type of girls that were coming into the home. They were much rougher. Most of us were abuse children. Then they started taking girls who committed small crimes and their parents couldn't take care of them. My auntie paid for us to go to that home. I was surprised when I came out of the home and saw real life. The nuns help me find a job and put me up in a YWCA. Back then they were hotels for catholic women from around the world going to colleges in NY. It was pretty cool for me. I was 16. Graduated early and working for Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. in the Pan Am Building. I think Sony has the sign up there now. I am grateful that I was a teen during the 60's. Not so rough for teens at least not for me. I didn't like city life. I was used to birds waking me up in the morning and peace and quiet. I had a lot to learn in such a short time. Three years later I was married.

The neighborhood I grew up in became the target of block busting in the late 60s, when a few black families bought houses. The realtors came in and talked to every white homeowner, face-to-face or by phone. My mom would get so angry, because they were relentless. Pretty soon our entire block was lined with For Sale signs. Just like in this show, sellers were offered less than their houses were worth, and the new owners were charged more than they could afford. Pretty soon, business owners started leaving. The realtors, business owners, and scared white families worked together to successfully create a slum. It's interesting seeing this situation portrayed in a series.

I remember the term "white flight" when it came to my Philadelphia neighborhood growing up...

This film is great,well done and great emotions

There is absolutely ZERO resemblance between the neighborhood in this episode and ANY location on Long Island in 1963. Remarkable that Hollywood would think they could pass off a southern Cali neighborhood as Massapequa.

I remember seeing this episode as a pre-teen when it was on T.V. in first-run. I recalled that the young Black wife (Ruby Dee) liked Bach when asked about Louis Armstrong. The actress playing the role of Polly was Constance Ford, who played the tormented niece of her wealthy, inventor uncle in the Twilight Zone episode, "Uncle Simon".

I enjoyed this movie.🥰

There's a lot of truth in this. The most poignant question then & today is where are we going to go America ...when the problems are inside us? That's a question for all of us, black & white.

Excellent! A raw look at what really lives in a “ liberals “ soul

I remember this show. The one episode I remember was about a family living in the slums and the little girl was bitten by a rat that came into their bedroom.
