Continuation of AFR 058.
Dr. Leonard Jeffries, professor and scholar, speaks on the changing views of “majority” on race in the media - how people like Nathan Glazer have taken on majority views, but others like Arthur Slessinger have not. Blacks, however, have organized and fought for their freedoms. Jeffries talks about how being educated and skilled still cannot get you credit or recognition in the media because you’re not white and you’re attacking slavery. He praises Earl Caldwell for his contributions.
Side B is a continuation of Side A. Earl Caldwell, journalist, speaks about discrimination he has faced when working at the Daily News and New York Times newspapers, the limits of free speech, and the expressing of his own opinion in the workplace and his writing. He speaks about how the newspaper took a year to hire him, and his articles in the back and shortened them. He wanted a relationship with the black community as a black reporter/journalist.
