- Description:
-
Sounds goes in and out at the beginning. Dr. Pinderhughes and Mel King address an audience. Dr. Pinderhughes addresses contemporary racism and its societal causes. He uses his term "body image" to explain different perceptions and projections of different types of people. He says that the Black Power Movement is providing a forceful change in white people's projections of what black people are. He compared the Black Power Movement to youths rebelling against adults to assert their autonomy, which is socially accepted. Mel King talks about racist funding problems at the Urban League. King continues his speech about the lack of funding for underprivileged communities, especially for education. He goes on to discuss various racist actions the American government has carried out historically. He explains the idea of both physical and psychological survival for minorities in America. Silent shots of the audience and several speakers at the podium and sitting at a table.
