Panel discussion on the crisis of racism, PART 1
Date: 5/1/1962Call Number: KP 094Format: Cass A & BProducers: Public Affairs Department of WBAI, Pacifica RadioCollection: Black Liberation
A panel discussion moderated by Murray Kempton, James Farmer, William Worthy, and Malcolm X, discussing the crisis of racism in the US. James Farmer, National Director of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality), speaks about the problems of hatred, racism, and exclusivity. He says that racism is the misuse of words that mean different things to different people, and is really the belief of the superiority of one race over another. William worthy, an American journalist, poses the question: if a Civil Rights Movement involves white money, does it betray the movement? He speaks about how serious racism is in America, and that whites need a devastating event to get them to overcome their set ways. Next, Malcolm X speaks about how it is impossible for black Americans to realize the same dream as whites. He also speaks about withstanding the racism if it means one could know and fight the enemy. Malcolm X tells the people that it is ok for black people in America to fight back in self-defense because theirs is the most colonized country in the world. The panel discussion ends with a question and answer session about racism and atrocities against blacks fighting for equality.
Women in Prison
Date: 1/1/1993Call Number: V 160Format: VHSProducers: A, E - Bill Kurtis ProductionsCollection: Videos in many formats – both camera originals as well as reference materials
For years, they were a tiny fraction of America's prison population. But now, the number of women behind bars is growing substantially, and the penal system is ill-equipped to deal with them.
Go inside some of America's most troubled jails for a firsthand look at WOMEN IN PRISON. Within any prison's walls, daily life among gangbangers and drugs causes fear and anxiety. But for female convicts, there is the added pain of days spent worrying about their children. Many female prisoners are single parents whose children are cast into the abuse-ridden child-welfare system when they are incarcerated. Interviews with inmates, prison officials and psychologists highlight the many shortcomings of the current system and point to the changes that must be made as more and more women are sentenced to jail time. Meet activists who are campaigning for prison reform, and repeat offenders who exemplify the worst effects of the reality of WOMEN IN PRISON.
It's a revealing look at a little-known aspect of the justice system.
