His View Of Separate But Equal May Shock You

- As many of you know who have been following my video posts, I recorded hundreds of interviews in 1989 for a television project. This gentleman from Farmville Virginia is speaking specifically about the experiences he encountered there, around the time of Brown versus Board of Education, integrating school systems. Prince Edward County, his County, chose to close the public schools for five years rather than integrate. He was a schoolteacher and proud of it. Shocked by what occurred. Not certain that he was completely in favor of integration as it was being experienced by him and others in Virginia at that time. I appreciated his honesty and his clarity. He was not a civil rights activist but he thoroughly believed in the power and value of education to elevate people and give them opportunities.

Sho you right Mrs.Lamb
Much love and respect to your family.
@@michellestewart4110 Thank you.
Very remarkable in his candor, particularly with regard to the principal of his school. I could listen to this gentleman for hours.
I remember reading a book called “Code talkers” about the Navajo people who were used for their language that couldn’t be translated by the enemy. He included that when he came home, he went to a bar, and a sign said “we don’t serve Indians”
To which he replied, I don’t want an Indian, I want a coke. It was a good book and a good eye opener.
My 6th grade daughter had that book as a required text for reading analysis. I read a few chapters with her this past school year and thought it was a great eye opener. It among other books should be required reading for all kids!
I know the story but I should read the book!
Yes it was a great writing. I'm familiar...
@@calikeisha365 lol...why not the entire book 🤔
Hello sir I like your comment. Could you by chance tell me where or how I could get the book that you remember reading about "code talker" ? Thanks for your comment.
These are good stories for these times Mr. Hoffman. Alot of blacks in my family shared same sentiment many going as far to say that during those days having a black teacher at an all black school meant black students were able to learn more than in white integrated schools where white teachers neglected to teach black students
I can't imagine how it must have felt for a black soldier who risked his life in Italy or Belgium or later Korea to have to come back to this.
Vietnam too.
Yes , it’s just so sad 😞 and people don’t seem to of changed that much either , they should be grateful when anyone goes to war to fight for the freedom of others !!
@@lindairvine7679 It was horrible. Jim Crow was an absolute shame. I was all but an eyewitness of a despicable form of racial discrimination in Houston, Texas, in 1960 when I was ten years old. But I disagree with your statement that people haven't changed that much since those terrible times. There has been a great change. We've made tremendous progress in race relations -- progress that black racists seem determined to wipe out.
@@wwc51450 yes I guess you’re right ,it’s just concerning that racism is rearing it’s ugly head again in some places, but I guess it’ll never totally go away , God bless you
@@wwc51450 it is human nature to be patient in position of privilege and impatient in position of oppression.
I am sure when your founding fathers where resisting the English the same sentiments where expressed on both sides. Wrong is wrong, do not do unto your brother what you would not like done unto you. The world doesn't heed by this as mankind is apt too,but no condition is permanent and the boot eventually gets another foot.it is this fear of revenge that drives fear in white people, but black people are spiritual and most do not have the same feelings.
What a wonderful way to teach history. Right from the time, straight from the source. No edit, no fudge, just raw truth. Thanks David as always.
He's right. The only problem with separate but equal was that it was in fact, unequal.
Because we looked to their government to treat us like citizens 🙄. Separate should mean your own government,etc.
Christine Richardson right
Hard disagree. We're all people and not so different. Why not come together?
@@ArtificialMayo
Because cultures ARE different..
People from different cultures should be COURTEOUS to one another but respect that there are differences in outlooks etc.
Artificial Mayo to hell with u. We wanna be able to be ourselves don’t u get it . Why are you all so invasive
I cherish these older stories, it gives you an insight into the past, your videos are truly historical collections
When u look at this it’s not old it’s less than a 100 years ago!!! We read the Bible n weep that’s over 2000 years ago!!! Yet it’s current n relevant as the day it was written!!! This is what we as a ppl need to see their struggles as ours as it’s the same we are enduring today .
Film interviews are truly a lost art in the age of selfies.
This gentleman apprehension about integration and mingling with whites wasn't about his prejudice moreso it was about him, his family and black communities' safety and well being. They had suffered decades of oppression and brutality after slavery ended.
So very true ...my eyes are more open than 7:49 minutes ago.
After slavery so that was nothing
All nations, genders, tribes, ages have endured brutality at the hands of others. It comes down to the need to love one another.
He was right. Segregation made our communities worse off. I wish that we were given proper " reparations" and that would that we "reinstitute" segregation. We stay to ourselves and they leave us the hell alone.
Deb Mainas He literally said it was about his prejudices. I know you don’t want to believe that. Fear and paranoia can be justified but the prejudices that result never. How many of your own justifiable reservations have morphed into ugly hatred. Ask yourself buddy.
This is the truth and awful to believe that this could be someone's circumstances. David. love your video content.
It is a sad history. But I had see it growing for the better. In Bosnia often they would say America has no right to speak to us about muslims, Serbs and Croats. Not when blacks and whites are fighting.
I said, we are still learning from our past.
My new motto, "make the people who hate others the unliked minority"!
Ppl have a right to hate whoever they feel like ..
@@crownchrist Right, and others have a right to feel negatively about you
@@user-wb8iu1hl6i that’s literally what I said 🤷♂️
I am from the South, when I was in elementary school, I remember the Teacher passing out tore up books to the class, When you opened the books, you would see the names, Mary, Bob, Jane as well as other Caucasian sounding first names, during that time, I was not aware of Segregation, because I was a child, but, as I became older, I noticed that our Teacher's began to pass out Brand New Books, our teachers would tell us to put our names, at the top of the page, as I look back today, A Black person or a Group of Black people, had to fight to get Brand New Books put in Black Classrooms, The people that gave our Schools the torn up books, didn't think we were Worthy to have Brand New Books to read, they saw us as Unequal.
It haven't changed in this country
but black people are used to it.
Projecting Much? If African Americans were "use to it", there would be slight resistance to Trump's failed Policies. And a Trump Candidates such as Roy Moore (aka: sexual misconduct Moore) efforts to win a Congressional seat (with Trump's Support). APATHY? No. APATHY is not an African Americans
Stance.
I now look very forward to your posts David - TY for this perspective
Same here
I have NOT been able for the last 110 days to watch your video's Mr. Hoffman....but many times in the last 3 plus months I have kept YOU and your FANS in my thoughts and prayers AND I have wondered what you were sharing with your RUclips Family.....I will have a Fun Ride catching up with your "Stories" shared and as usual I will learn new things and listen and read the comments in here as well....Cheers From Ohio To Everyone In Here
My dad served honorably during WW2 and couldn’t even get a GI loan to provide a decent home for his family. I still cannot get USAA and my dad was an officer.
Thats a damned shame. America has a judgement coming from God based on how they treated his people. We are the apple of his eye.
@@aesonmoritz2100 You are completely correct. I have heard it phrased this way; "if God does not judge America He would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah."
We are already beginning to witness it. We rejected Him and his hand came off of this country. The weight of sin, of people in all walks of life being mistreated, 70 million murdered infants... I stand in awe at the wrath about to hit this country.
In 2010 in NYC, my children attended 2 different middle schools. One middle school was predominantly Latinx students, followed by Black students, with very few White students. The students were given handouts of photocopied pages from textbooks and worksheets for every class. This was true even for classes which were expected to prepare students to take state-wide Regents exams. When I asked why, the teachers said they did not have enough for the students. Two teachers said that they would give my child a textbook, "since you asked." The other middle school was predominantly White students, followed by Latinx and Black and Asian. Each student received a textbook for each class. Many classes had extra textbooks for the students to use in the school. In spite of my and my husband's efforts and involvement, this had a detrimental impact on my child in the school without textbooks.
" A shameful chapter in America's history" seems to be a constant thing
Everytime we try to write a new chapter, it gets rejected by the publishers.
@@lordtiberius Could you expound on this?
hard to find a period of american history which is not shameful
Looks like the whole damned book is shameful.
@@lordtiberius Yeah well a dog that don't hunt, don't get fed.
He is absolutely right we should have listened to Marcus Garvey.
Uggh... we definitely should have.
True story, that's gospel.
Nation of Islam and Hon Minister Louis Farrakhan, is asking for separation now and hsve been for decades.
Jesus even in the bible conducted separation with the goats ans sheeps. He wasnt talking about animal's.
Matthew 25:31-46 New International Version (NIV)
The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
@Norris Cool Exactly
@ThirdeyeStrike Truth to Power
It comes down to this.... Treat others as you would like to be treated.
I get what you saying but the problem is: most people don't love themselves, so they can't love others
Thanks captain OBVIOUS 😏🤨
Except whites are taught from a very early age that they are superior..when that stops..and we are all treated the same..in a good way..then will things be better..
Watch Jane Elliot's Documentary A Class Divided on RUclips..put out by Frontline..
@@kathleenhuff3059 you are a liar.
Kathleen Huff perhaps in a few places around the country that’s true but for the most part I’d bet that’s false
Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work.
There's no doubt that it was unequal. The funding of education for public schools can not rely on impovished tax bases. There still needs to be changes right across the country to improve all public education! Thank you David.
Mr. Hoffman, you inspire me and so many others with your passion for your work and your brilliance. Vielen Dank, und herzliche Grüße aus der Schweiz!
I agree 100%. Being separate was not the issue, Unequal facilities and learning materials was the issue!
Thank you, Mr. Hoffman for filming these important records of the views & experiences of the people who were there. This is so vital right now. I only wish this had millions of views...someday it will.
Another GREAT video!!! I went to that school in 1984. Back then it was used to teach seventh grade for the Prince Edward County Public Schools. Even then the conditions were deplorable. I'm sure I know this gentleman also... thank you for your work David.
“Separate but equal “ is a new notion to me ( I wasn’t born and raised in US ) , but it immediately struck me as something completely unrealistic for myriad of reasons. Hard to believe that people thought it might work. Puzzled.
Actually, they really didn't think it would work, they never intended to treat people with respect. Separate but equal was a legal way of saying, "we will continue to treat you as unimportant, you will take whatever trash I give you, and you will shut up" Just like in the good old days of slavery, we will never stop thinking of you as beneath us, no matter how poor, uneducated, and powerless we are!
Well... in alot of ways, it DID work. the problem is in areas where there WAS prosperity, the Klan and other forces dismantled it. Rosewood, Fl; Tulsa, Ok; Wilmington, NC; Colfax, LA.... those areas were prospering within existing separatist ideas and what happened? Destroyed by white mobs.
You may watch other videos of how black people thrived during that era but racists broke it down. Black people don't need white people to live great lives and build a society contrary to what we think nowadays. It's just a shame that we live in the same area but don't communicate... but when you can't communicate it's better, like a divorce
@@TheLily97232 I understand your point . But since both “sides” live in the same society it’s basically impossible to avoid interactions , thus, the idea of “separation “ doesn’t look sustainable . I really hope that racial issues will go away and people of all backgrounds will thrive !
Separate & UN-equal is what we have now, meaning laws that penalize white males, named affirmative-action. Europeans may not know what this is.
When the Lefties say 'Equality', they mean redistribution of jobs, tax $$$, housing, college seats & more from white males to them. Ask them, they'll tell you.
Thanks for this David. Interesting interview. I had a black friend in HS who happened to be my next door neighbor. His father routinely told us he preferred separate but equal and wanted to go back to that model. He didn't want his kids to mingle with white kids and made that very clear to me when I was around. Its Interesting to see the different perspectives and how things have changed over the years.
Separate but equal mindset is still very much alive in places like Louisiana.
It's honestly still prevalent all over the U.S. America is even more segregated now. I think forceful segregation was the wrong idea, I think naturally it would have happened anyway.
Sounds like some personal problems
Excellent documentary. Thank you.
I was educated in a shack here in Mexico. It’s the teachers that counted! Old hand me down desks with inkwells! But I had a superior education. All we had were pencils and cuadernos. Teacher wrote everything on the chalkboard we wrote in our cuadernos. The 3 R’s and a Gay Art teacher! In 1963.
Here in America where they were purposely doing it, it was wrong.
Mexicans teaching Mexicans.
That is not the case in the US.
He explained the negative long-term effects of enslavement and what it does to a person..It's called PTSD Post Traumatic slave disorder.
Keep these videos going David, people gotta know.
So heartbreaking. Thank you for this David.
Thank you for sharing this interview He was so soft spoken even when speaking of the atrocities they had endured Separate but Equal was all he asked for..shame on those people who wouldn't listen
I appreciate every Video you release, information like this will be timeless and out live you and me and God Bless every Person that integrates this knowledge.
I appreciate that
It's a real shame more people haven't seen this. Most people don't even know how some Americans were treated 60 years ago...
Mariojinn2:Sad but true.
👍Fantastic as usual. Thank you for sharing. 💝
Very well done, and fascinating interview. I begs the question, why anyone would give a thumbs down to this??
Thank you so much for the content I'm about to check it out right now😊
What an amazingly honest man. Another brilliant film clip David.
Great Interview! ❤️
Thanks for the upload
Great interview thank you for sharing.😉
One year later , his state Virginia would become the first to elect an African American Governor , Douglas Wilder.
I wouldn't say all, but I get what your saying.
And that still didn't make America want to dismantle racism...Remember President Barack Obama? This love of racism is why the future is in the hands of multi ethnic young people who completely understand why Black Lives Matter, and they will not be deterred....they will undo this racism by "root and branch"
Which in the grand scheme of things means nothing. A few black faces in high positions will always be tokenism unless the vast wealth inequality gap is addressed for average black Americans.
@dropout0110 that's convenient for your business as usual pov isn't it.
@dropout0110 why bring your political bullshit over here?
Thanks for sharing...
Let us keep sharing, caring, and loving .
Those we share this dust speck with.
We are all we have.
David your films are great thanks for keeping a record of history
This is very interesting and thought provoking. The things he’s saying are things I’ve never heard before or considered in the discussions happening right now. This was indeed very enlightening, but it doesn’t solve the issue of what is in people’s hearts. People must change themselves, and how they view and treat other people.
It's very sad. I really enjoy your videos... Thanks so much.
Thankful for these videos. I am learning so much and I'm sad I can't ask my dad most of this. He is still living and will be 80 next year but grew up in Williamsburg and my aunt currently lives in Farmville. So much injustice and my dad is scarred, he can't talk about what he went through. My mother is from North Carolina and 11 years younger than him and shared some of her growing up when the schools became intergrated. Its hard to hear, but how else can we learn not to repeat the mistakes made in our past?
That Southern camp was where the Tuskegee airmen learned to fly!
I had a teacher in college who lived during the time when students were bused great distances to force integration. He commented that it was not necessarily a good idea for black children because they were forced to attend classes with white students and white teachers. Black children were subject to ridicule and degradation by their classmates. White teachers could not relate to nor understand black pupils. He argued that black students were much better off having black teachers who understood them, their needs, their experiences, and could give them better learning and personal development opportunities than their white counterparts. He said the same things mentioned in this video. Separate but equal would have worked if it had been equal.
Separate but equal would not have worked.
That was the whole point of the Brown vs Board case.The findings were that the white and Black schools in Topeka at the time were about equal in buildings, curriculum, teacher, qualifications and salaries. The impact of segregation as as much as psychological as it is physical.
The only thing that really drives the desire to have separate facilities by race is the view that one race is superior to the other. That doesn't change because you make everything else equal. It still makes the whites students feel superior and the Black students feel inferior.
@able street there WERE very much "equal" accommodations but it was a rarity. there were pockets of the country that has very high achieving standards where graduates went on to have those desired professional positions. the pipeline to HBCUS in the south, particularly in Florida was very strong. the black community as segregated as it was in many of these areas were unique tho.
Derrick Bell wrote about Brown v Board in Silent Covenants. fascinating read. unpacks and debunks many of the central arguments of the ruling. also identifies the REAL issue of separate but equal
@jefflewis4 Well said, I agree. Even if it had been possible to do “separate and equal”, there’s no justification for being separate, except to show one as superior to the other.
@able street I'm not wrong. I can only suggest you re-read the case because its in there clear as day. Its in the very first footnote of the opinion. The Kansas District Court determined the separate black and white schools in Topeka were equal. The NAACP lost that case on that basis, and they appealed to the Supreme Court from that decision. You'll see no disagreement with this in the Brown Supreme Court decision. The Supreme Court just said it doesn't matter if the separate schools are equal, its the separation itself that was un-equal.
Fantastic - thank you.
For shame...David, thank you for sharing your documentaries they are profound.
America went to fight fascism abroad while promoting it at home. The irony....
Thank you David.
So very sad. No words. 😭
Very interesting!
It is my first time watching these interviews & wow , we kids today do indeed have it better, much much better
Great video.

I highly respect this man.
Knowing the greatness you come from is empowering because it allows a person to know their own possible purpose and what they are capable of . Yes! Yes! Yes!
I love your videos
I'm binge watching you today Mr. Hoffman
So many shameful chapters in USA history, including the one we are in today.
great storytelling
From his voice I can tell hes has been through alot and it's funny I also wonder about a World where separate but equal was a thing like alt - history
He is a great storyteller. It’s abhorrent that things like this happened. We’ve come far since then, but we still have work to do.
@S. W. Sonny For example? In what domains?
@S. W. Sonny What exactly? We have come so far even though people act like there are still slaves on plantations. Last time I checked black music reigns supreme. We had a black president elected by the American people for TWO TERMS. Many black people have become INCREDIBLY successful. Black people have the EXACT SAME RIGHTS as every other race in the United States. So, again, I ask, please explain what you mean by that we have a lot of work to do.
@S. W. Sonny You are right. Cops cannot get away with abusing white people. Also, you forgot, black people. More importantly, ALL people.
I never dayis the majority of black people are well off and successful. Is that the case with white people? No. So what's your point?
The disrespect President Obama got? Are you high? He had the media in his pocket the entire time. The media were his best friend and were ALWAYS in his corner. I DO remember the amount of not just disrespect but also the amount of pure hatred President Bush received. Him and his entire family. That was disgusting. President Trump has been attacked from the day he came down that escalator. The Democrats were talking about impeaching him before he ever took office. He has been berated and attacked since he decided to run for President. But that's okay with you right?
And if there was systemic racism, how do you explain how ANY black person becomes successful? If the system is racist, then that should never happen but it does. Explain that.
@S. W. Sonny Thank you. I'll watch out for your reply to Martin for am very interested to know what American institutions still discriminate against people simply because of the hue of their skin.
Linda Here are a few examples of how American institutions continue to uphold racism and prejudice: redlining still disproportionately effects Black Americans, resumes with “Black” sounding names are less likely to be called for an interviews than white potential hirees with the same qualifications, BIPOC are disproportionately incarcerated (research the school to prison pipeline), intentional over policing in Black majority communities, police kill Black people at a higher rate than white people, and Black women are more likely to die during child birth than white women. We still have a lot of work to do to make our country an equal and fair place for all.
I feel like they did back then. I want out. I know the difference between being respected vs being tolerated.
I Totally Agree With Him!!!!
I would love to hear more from this man!
Has he written books or done more interviews?
Thank you again #DavidHoffman!
sounds like BATMAN lmao! Great vid!
Any notion that "Separate but equal" was fair on my part was dispelled when a professor at Virginia State took me for a four of their agricultural program which consisted of three cows. It did not match up with the great facilities at Virginia Tech.
I was a teacher in Trumbull, CT where they had the highest test scores in the state. Then I worked in Waterbury, CT at what was considered their worst elementary school. The disparity today is still extremely vast in all areas. Waterbury gets way more money. Where is the disconnect? Big Daddy G
thanks
Hello Mr.Hoffman, I am a student and in my spare time I love making films and documentaries. Like other filmmakers you have an amazing point of view and are very inspiring. I love to watch your documentaries and interviews better than TV! I was wondering if you could give me some strategies to make films or heart this comment it would totally make my day!
Unfortunately, I barely have the time to do what I am doing. But good luck to you. Making documentaries is a wonderful thing to do.
David Hoffman
Thank You!
Why blacks or natives could be patriotic to such a racist nation boggles my mind.
The Isaac Woodard story shatters me every time I think about it. 🙏🏼✝️
Extremely powerful, I don't know if I could have withstood such monstrous behavior from the white persuasion...But God knew what era to let me be born into. I do praise my brother who withstood such prejudices...That took guts. He was blessed and a blessing.
My great grandfather fought in WW2 and he expressed the same feelings about going to fight just to come home and get spit on.
I'm not really surprised by anything "this gentleman from Farmville VA" said. I never doubted that what was called "separate but equal" was really separate and unequal. However TGFF brought home to me just _how_ unequal it was.
I would have liked to have met this gentleman.
youve done many good interviews pitty theyre not on tv inplace of the BS reality tv shows.
3:31 It pained him to call them hypocritical. True human emotion. We're really all the same. One race. Human.
Please upload any other material you have on this gentleman. This short video was a tease. I want to hear more from this man.
Maybe someday. I have plenty of videos to upload in the coming months. Stay tuned.
David Hoffman - filmmaker
His view doesn’t surprise me at all🤷🏽♀️
Hi David, thank you for sharing your most illuminating documentaries. I don't think you gave us this gentleman's name. Is it Harold Moore? Please let me know, by private text or email? if for some reason it is intentionally not mentioned.
Please contact my office at allinaday@aol.com
I've talked with older whites and blacks who agree with this man. In the long run unity would be best.
The US Military was segregated during WWII. Pres. Harry Truman signed Executive Order #9981 on July 26, 1948 desegregating the Armed Forces of The USA.
In the North there were integrated schools. We knew that it wasn't all the South thought it was. The Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v The Board of Education was based on the fact that schools hadn't been equally funded as per Plessy v Ferguson ruling. The Court's ruling wasn't in promotion of integration. The NAACP made it about integration as they wouldn't take the case if it wasn't.
E Walker@ It wasn't based on unequal funding. There had already been lower court rulings that dealt with that and directed the towns that did not provide equal facilities to do so. Read the findings of the appealed District case (Judge Huxman) The Topeka schools were seen as having equal facilities and teachers. The Supreme Court case answered the question are the students equal if they are separated by race even if all the 'tangible' factors are equal. The answer came back no. Even if the schools are equal, segregation by race is inherently un-equal.
@@jefflewis4 No. The original plaintiffs wanted equal funding. They as most Black people wanted Plessy v Ferguson enforced. It was the NAACP that made it about integration. They refused to take the case unless it was. Brown v The Board of Education was not their first case, their first try. The Supreme Court decision was based on these schools failing to abide by Plessy v Ferguson. Since they did not make schools equal for Black children, then Black children would be allowed to attend the better schools created for white children.
@@ewalker1057 It was no longer about unequal funding or facilities when the Brown case went to the US Supreme Court.
It was already settled in the in the Kansas District court the schools in Topeka were equal.
Its stated as such in the very first footnote in the Brown opinion.
"...that the Negro and white schools were substantially equal with respect to buildings, transportation, curricula, and educational qualifications of teachers. 98 F. Supp. 797. The case is here on direct appeal under 28 U. S. C. § 1253." (347 US 483)
The District court confirmed Topeka had abided by Plessy v Ferguson that's why it decided against the NAACP.
The NAACP appealed to the Supreme court on that basis, arguing that even if the facilities were equal Segregation was still not an equal education.The Supreme Court in Brown directly addressed this point, its written as such in the decision....
"Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities?
We believe that it does." (347 US 483)
The Brown case answered the question whether separation on the basis of race could in any way be equal. The answer was no , separation on the basis of race was inherently un-equal. Equal funding or equal facilities does not change this.
I remember,, life was different,,honestly,, we all seen more than our share...
This is very true, not only in the South, but all around the United States of America and it is still that way. Things have not changed much. Children of Color have the disadvantage of using poor equipment in buildings that are in disrepair with little or no maintenance because there are few teachers and staf, even in 2022.
Nowadays it’s not just blacks who are mistreated but all races; they are called Targeted Individuals.
Separate but equal is like most things made up by humanity. In theory it’s something that could work, but in reality humanity will never allow something like that. It’s better that we all figure out how to get along
There still exists separate in American school systems it's called private school or academies,though alot academies are pipelines to Division 1 colleges for athletics and therefore have a good amount minority students.
Thank you for sharing these great productions. I hope you someday get the chance to consider donating digital copies to one of the archives like UCLA or The Paley Center.
Rich people can donate. Me, I am building legacy for my family I hope. To protect them when I go.

Proud and incensed at the same time. The black heroes of war came home to a country that was still foreign to them.
Malcolm X said the same thing. The laws were passed by never enforced!
