1966 CBS News: Black Disenfranchisement

I found this video very interesting and informative when it comes to where we are as a black community today. It’s not that I didn’t know all of this but I was extremely young when it was happening. It’s both painful and educational to see how we were severely misled as a community.

Black people in the 60s had nothing but church. Long before the mega-churches and the massive grants were given to churches they were usually small buildings that brought together Black people who were desperately trying to maintain a sense of sanity. What is very interesting, is how CBS does this show like they are visiting a Zoo, it’s hard to decipher if this was supposed to be exploitive or informative perhaps both.

At the end of the day, it’s a good thing they did it.
