Whether or not you are attending our Zoom sessions on race in America, the video for this week is an illuminating piece of reporting from 1966 to review as part of Black History Month.  It is CBS Reports filmed after a summer of increasing race-related tensions and focuses on the north.  1966 is a year well within most of our memories, and I found myself deeply unnerved by what I watched.

Past Meetings

On Wednesday, January 11th, we began our 6 week study of Race and Racism in America.  Our focus for this segment will be the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s.  This is a period of time many of us might remember unfolding in front of our eyes as TV brought events from afar into our living rooms.  Events of that period have had a profound effect on the country's efforts to address issues of equality.
 
Our first session will explore the early events of that period including the desegregation of the military and the Brown vs. the Topeka Board of Education Supreme Court decision that declared segregated schools unconstitutional.  
 
Please feel free to join us whether or not you have joined us before.  This is an interesting period of time whose echoes we hear today.  An option is to watch the videos that will be suggested for each week as a form of independent study.
