All Power to the People
Date: 1/1/1997Call Number: V 014Format: VHSProducers: Lee Lew LeeCollection: Black Power/Black Nation
Opening with a montage of four hundred years of race injustice in America, this powerful documentary provides the historical context for the establishment of the 60's civil rights movement. Rare clips of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Fred Hampton and other activists transport one back to those tumultuous times. Organized by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton, the Black Panther Party embodied every major element of the civil rights movement which preceded it and inspired the black, brown, yellow, Native American and women's power movements which followed
The party struck fear in the hearts of the "establishment" which viewed it as a terrorist group. Interviews with former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark, CIA officer Philip Agee, and FBI agents Wes Swearingen and Bill Turner shockingly detail a "secret domestic war" of assassination, imprisonment and torture as the weapons of repression. Yet, the documentary is not a paean to the Panthers, for while it praises their early courage and moral idealism. it exposes their collapse due to megalomania, corruption, drugs, and narcissism

Privatization of Prisons
Date: 1/8/1997Call Number: PM 323Format: Cass A & BProducers: National Public Radio (NPR)Program: Talk of the Nation with Ray SuarezCollection: Private Prisons
On this episode of Talk of the Nation with Ray Suarez, guests Joseph Johnson, Chairman and CEO of the National Corrections and Rehabilitation Corporation, and Dr. Charles Logan, Criminologist at University of Connecticut and author of "Private Prisons, Pros & Cons", discuss the pros, cons, meanings and symbolism of private prison growth. Callers frequently inquire about the profit motive of private prisons, which Johnson denies exists nor will ever influence the mission to provide the best service possible to inmates. Logan makes points such as "the demand for prisons is driven by crime, not by prison building" and "the private sector does not respond to, nor create, artificial demand."
Voices of the Civil Rights Movement: Black American Freedom Songs 1960-1966
Date: 1/21/1997Call Number: CD 661Format: CDProducers: Smithsonian FolkwaysCollection: Compact discs and videos representing digitized copies of analog tapes
Documents the importance of songs in the Civil Rights Movement. Teachers covering this tumultuous time in American History in their class can certainly give students a better sense for the time by not only showing videos of the peaceful demonstrations and police brutality, but by playing them some of the songs from this album. Many of these freedom songs were recorded live in mass meetings held in churches. These are not just spirituals and gospel songs, but draw upon rhythm and blues, football chants, blues, and calypso for their beauty and energy. The first disc features songs from mass meetings, where a singer or core of singers leads the people in the singing of the songs, while the second focuses on ensemble works by the SNCC Freedom Singers and other groups. The accompanying booklet written by Bernice Johnson Reagon combines historic photographs with insights into each song, providing an excellent education in the meaning of the music. Reagon not only explains how these songs were song, but also which songs were prominent for the Selma-to-Montgomery March ("Governor Wallace"), "Freedom Train" for the vigil for the Mississippi Democratic Party elections. 2 CDs
