6 Great Black Americans On 1963 Primetime TV. An Amazing Dialogue...
Feb 6, 2021 I have kept this video recording since shortly after it was made. So powerful. Such an incredible moment And dialogue. It was the spring of 1963. These leaders were planning the now famous March on Washington. The voting rights bill was being debated before Congress. The same with a food stamps bill for poor people. Participating in this live prime time television dialogue were James Farmer, James Forman, Whitney Young, Martin Luther King and Roy Wilkins. All powerful civil rights leaders representing the NAACP, the National Urban League, the Congress On Racial Equality (CORE), the SCCC, and the SCLC. Issues discussed include Lyndon Johnson and the southern Dixiecrats, the voting rights bill, the bus boycotts, the lunch counter sit ins, the effort to register voters in Mississippi, and more. I found these five men so intelligent and informed and passionate and articulate that as I said in the video, watching this with my parents motivated me as a young man to go to Washington and participate in the March where Martin Luther King and others spoke. I post it now with the conviction that it will have meaning for all those concerned with the Issues being debated in America today. Here is the link to my film that this television show provoked ...

An iconic and articulate group of leaders who made an impact--and a difference. What they had to endure--and what people of colour continue to endure in many areas that are growing worse, not better, thanks to DrumfenFührer's racist-enabling diatribes--is so heartbreakingly egregious and a stain on our society that won't rub off, as much as the racists continue their evil, anti-Christian, anti-American, and anti-humanitarian ways, all the flames of which was eagerly fanned by DrumpfenFührer and his ilk.
Thank you, Charlie, for sharing this video. I'd not seen it before...
