Amazing how prevalent "Chicano" was used in the 70s. Virtually unused today.

Love the opening and closing song. Abstections on the criminally undersung Music, Inc. album. Narrator played drums for Weather Report.

Great video...but why is the narrator trying to be so sexy with it??? This is a video about minority contractors...he looks like he’s making a Colt 45 commercial 😂

[@reelblack]

True. And the chair. Lol

[@angusorvid8840]

Ha Ha! He borrowed George Clinton's P-Funk high back wicker chair! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWOTc6l9aK1pers

Thanks for sharing this video. The various black chambers of commerce follow this issue nation-wide. More work to do in the area of contracts secured by black-owned firms.
