Date: 8/16/1996Call Number: JG/ 158BFormat: Cass BProducers: Judy GerberProgram: A Defiant HeartCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
Judy opens the episode with a reading from a newspaper article that was not widely publicized in the national newspapers. The article focused on an event where two KKK members plead guilty in Charleston in Federal Court to burning down two Black A.M.E. churches. Judy questions why the article was hidden from public knowledge.
Judy then moves on to speak primarily about the Republican National Convention that recently occurred in San Diego. She challenges news reports and newspaper articles claiming that many Blacks and Latinos were present at the convention, while in reality, there were only 100 Blacks/Latinos of the 2000 people in total attendance. Judy also mentions the various protests that occurred during the convention.
