95 578 Рет қаралды

Made for public TV documentary from 1966 surveys the accomplishments of the civil rights movement during the one year after the dramatic Selma-to-Montgomery march and the ensuing voting rights act of 1965, as observed in the status of tenant farmers whose average earnings are less than $1,000 per year, and who live in constant debt to white plantation owners and the company store. Explains that the rural Negro is no less hungry, no better educated and no more powerful politically than he was then. Urges that the Federal Government create more jobs, allocate poverty-funds more equitably, and police the agriculture department more effectively. From the Internet Archive www.archive.org
Made by civil rights documentarian Jack Willis (1934-2022) jackwillisfilms.com/ . His entire film collection was donated to the University of Washington in St. Louis (library.wustl.edu/spec/jack-w...)

I taught my children to not see with their eyes when they see different skin colors, but to look in other people's eye's and hearts and to just see the person and that we all come from GOD so therefore we all have the same blood coursing thru our veins- Red Yellow Black or White we are precious in HIS sight.

And, it need there needs to be an exam like the constitution that it becomes a requirement for graduation form grammar school, high school and college. It would be required all years of middle school and high school - it's America history and is must be taught. No diploma or degree without passing the class. & exam.

    • Tis true you may not have been personally responsible for the continual mistreatment of black people, but if you are classified as white here in the United States, you more likely benefit from a system that caters and protects its white citizens. So before black people decide to come together with anyone we have some house cleaning we have to do first amongst ourselves, but you can get together with those that are classified as white, and if you are genuinely concerned for the plight of black people, you can use the power you have in your voices and demand reparations for black people that is long over due. That would help make our world a better place.

  • That mule farmer. Sad, shameful he worked so damn hard his entire life, barely could get $50 loan to help which was dear to pay back & probably w interest: what might all he have accomplished for himself/his family/descendants if he´d have had opportunity to accomplish something from all his hard work his entire life with something tangible to show for all his lifetime of hard work. Sad,shameful his teeth, clearly he got no help with dental care (or probably any doctor), must´ve been painful for him, in addition to all his futile work. IMHO the worst thing that has survived slavery is the lack of education/access to education; food insecurity; lack of prenatal care for mothers; & the profitable prison system. A white cop recently put it well: he tried to help a black teenager who´d have lost his job bc his taillight was out & he couldn´t afford it....Cop got suspended without pay, for helping a good neighborhood kid, instead of writing tickets etc which put money into the city/hands of local officials (recent incident). I think the cop was not in The South. Sorry if I´m not allowed to comment, did not mean to but in or be disrespectful:)

  • I watch this documentary and see some of the reactions to the people in the film and I can't help but wonder, what changes did anybody expect to see in just one year following the marches, demonstrations, and public outcry? It takes MUCH MORE than the simple signing of documents and the public-facing fight for equality. Who, from the people who organized and led and spoke on behalf of equal rights/ voting rights/ the downtrodden black folks stayed behind to ensure the transition of the conditions from what was to what it should be? Once the fighting is over and the battle is won, who is assigned to implement the changes that are supposed to improve the lives of the impoverished? After the fighting is done, the fighters move on and leave the people to their own devices? At the start of the documentary, it was stated that millions of blacks moved north for work and opportunities. But several millions more blacks were still living in the same conditions that had been there before the marches and demonstrations. I'm curious to know what good became of the documentary? Did organizers return to the area on the behalf of the people? There's a cause for every fight. But there's not a fight for every cause. The ones that make the headlines get the publicity, but the failure seems to be that people get the notion that once the fight is won, the work is done. Unfortunately, once the fight is won, the fighters move on to the next fight and the ones that the fighters were fighting for are left behind with no understanding or power to do the work. I'd like to see the follow-ups to these documentaries to see how things progressed after this documentary was completed.

Both are early 30's and no kids, no needless suffering and I can age peacefully. Never saw the logic of bringing kids into this mess of a world after I got educated after making my 2 mistakes.

    • I share your same sentiments. Why would you bring a child into that? If anything that’s selfish. You can’t even feed yourself, how are they going to eat? Regardless if more people can help you “work”you have to take care of them and teach them. The adults should’ve came together and built a community together. They came together to buy into the lies of that church and to have a bunch kids. So many didn’t and don’t have to suffer. I can’t believe this was STILL happening in the 60’s, black people are more broken than I thought. I live in the south and KNOW people who still think and talk like this oml.

My family did not deal with direct racism, but heard a lot of things from others. I moved to Long Island, New York but experienced a different kind of racism. The Black Community and Black people as a whole go through a lot because of their skin color not their characters.

My parents had $5,000.00 dollars in the bank in 1960’s and still could not get a mortgage from Chase bank to purchase our home. The white man who liked my father fronted for him, rent to purchase until he was able to get a mortgage from Jamaica Savings. The took their money out of Chase. This was in Queens, NY. Then I think about being one of the few blacks in IGC classes so-called intellectually gifted classes. Looking back I think this was a tool used to segregate students within the same school.

I am not good at all at short sound bites your Gen. texts , especially when it’s matters close to my Heart and Soul. I’m not from the South , I’m a Cali. Bra. , but I kept hearing my subconscious speaking louder and louder as I listen to the middle to older white men in a group of about 6 and the one older black man seemingly 70ish , as he was “ skin-in and grinning, dropping his head at the exact moment he knew they were looking at him , all the while from a lifetime of practicing and perfecting his craft of “ mind- comp.” without missing a single que or glance , those “ Crackers “ were being played by the Chest master himself ! Bravo Mystro Bravo !! servant.

  • I once read that economics plays apart in racism along with other issues of racism and I find that very true today. Even in the twenty first century and even having a Black man elected as the president of the United States ,some White people for the most part resent Back people having more than they do or achieving success !!! I picked on this when a White mortgage banker from a well known bank ,tried to stick me with a predatory loan ,with all kinds of points.mortgage insurance,and an adjustable rate mortgage. She resented that my being a single Black man was purchasing a 3,000 square feet home and I could tell by her demeanor that she was very upset . What makes this even worst,is this was the bank that I was banking with and had all my money deposited with. She didn't know that I bought my first new home when I was 23 years old and I knew all the ins and outs regarding purchasing a new home Thus I walked away from the home and the B.S. mortgage and got myself a "White mortgage " with better financing ,better home and better location . All I have to say is that it was a blessing in disguise and I came out on top!!!
