[Music] of Black America [Music] black history lost stolen or [Music] strayed Brown ofer we need you have aing nobility and a s of that are very and de with a heart such as yours you could open any you could go out and do anything you could be king Brown you could begin great very good all right we'll go to lunch now and this afternoon we'll continue with our no I can never fit in that never get in that at all this is more like it now what's the whitest thing you know whiter than the driven snow whiter than the whites of your eyes sugar nonintegrated non black sweet sugar but you see there is a black man in your sugar his name is norber rier norber relia in 18 in 1846 invented a vacuum pan that revolutionized the sugar refining industry now you have to dig to find that fact I mean it's not much history but it's still history now uh what do you stand in and your shoes now there's just you and your shoes isn't it nope see there's a black man standing in your oxfords with you sharing your soul and your heel there's a man his name is Jan Ernst Metzeler and in 1863 this is a drawing by the kids Metzeler invented the machine that made mass-produced shoes possible now you have to dig around for that fact too and again it's not much history but it's history am I coming in clear to California I mean is this TV signal driving through a pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains and slipping into San Francisco okay well I want to thank you Jim beckworth Jim beckworth out of St Louis Hunter Trapper and honorary chief of the Crow tribe of Indians we had trouble finding your gym though you helped open the West she didn't make the books Chicago right here where the Wrigley building is young fellow by the name of Jean Baptist daab John Baptist he founded you Chicago when he traded with the Indians and of course there it is right there that particular time it was called isago or stinking onion by the Indians and doab he didn't even change the name at all now you take the Lewis and Clark expedition here right in there you'll find a black man named York helping to open the West those men are trying to wash the black out of York that's what you might call historically significant because a lot of people think we ought to wash white but we ain't going to you see Texas coming to you Texas right down the Chism Trail right here right down there with 5,000 black cowboys who never made it to the Hollywood Western did you know that huh and this same group there was one black Outlaw his name was Deadwood dick who claimed his sole brothers were batmon Billy the Kid and Jesse James dead with dick used to ride into the saloon ordered two drinks one for himself and one for his horse and here's his horse a drinking the shot of red eyee with a straw and how about the 186,000 blacks who fought on the union side during the Civil War 38,000 died how about Teddy Rosevelt charge up San Juan Hill wasn't just the Rough Riders who made it four black regiments went right up with Teddy they didn't get lost going up the hill they got lost in the history books how about the North Pole snow white well the first man there was black Matthew Henson he spoke Eskimo and uh he was Admiral Perry's Navigator and although he made it first to the pole had never quite made it to the history books and how about your heart can we get there all right Daniel hail Williams first performed open heart surgery successfully and this list could go on forever blacks who made it blacks who made history but who didn't get into the history text at all and the strange thing is how little there is about us in the textbooks Napoleon once said history is a fable agreed upon and the Fab agreed upon up to now is that American history is white on white and sometimes we did get into the history books all wrong now you take this one the growth of the American Republic 1942 Edition Samuel Elliot Morrison Henry steel cager quote as for this has to do with uh slavery as for [ __ ] [ __ ] Professor Marson [ __ ] Professor CER as for [ __ ] whose wrongs moved the abolitionists to wrath and tears there is some reason to believe that he suffered less than any other class in the south from its peculiar institution peculiar institution means slavery although brought to America by force the incurably optimistic negro soon became attached to the country and devoted to his white folks unquote those lines were written by two pulit surprise winning white northern professors slavery that's the place everybody likes to start negro history you have ignorant black men being brought over from African chains Terrible Things SL but the way slavery is taught it sort of takes the sting out of it because the way it's usually taught people think that we afro-americans started with nothing but little grass skirts like to catch in the Tarzan movies and though America gave us slavery America kindly gave us religion and a lick or two of education and when we get more jobs and more education then Up From Slavery but uh we had something before we left Africa something more than Rhythm I mean we had a high culture culture was so high that great artists in the world are still borrowing from it now here's a sculpture by an unknown African artist and here's what Paul clay took from him now here's a work by an unknown black African and Pablo Picasso liked what he saw another African design and modani swiped it or he was influenced by it or whatever polite word you want to use another black African artist and Castle didn't change it very much I mean when you look at this copying you got to give us a little more than Rhythm you got to give us style now if you tell the history of slavery right you got a big problem on your hands the slave trader didn't take some s Savage Out of Africa he took a human being sold him like an animal and separated him from his family America invented the cruestv in the history of the world because it broke up black families after slavery was over America kept breaking up the black men's family and that's some awful history to teach if you want to look history right straight in the eye you going to get a black eye because it isn't important whether a few black Heroes got lost or stolen or strayed in America's history textbooks what's important is why they got left out now this country has got a psychological history there was a master race there was a slave race and though there isn't any political slavery anymore those same old attitudes have hung around I mean the burn in part of burn baby burn is right here in this classroom we want to thank Mrs lovely bips and the whole gang here at fourth grade for the brilliant and intelligent artwork that uh they've done here to make this whole broadcast sing I want you guys to keep pretending that I'm not here you're doing a great job and just uh keep on drawing and reading and writing doing what you have to do cuz I'm going to talk about some other kids not you Mary John and Bob these are kids from other schools and did you know in some states it used to be against the law to teach blacks to read or write nowadays we're getting these integrated School rooms and most people think that if we get enough teaching and enough jobs everything is going to take care of itself but there is a scar of History running right through kids as young as these it tears you up if you know how to look at drawings kids make because kids shouldn't know much about history and anything about discrimination I mean nobody hates little black kids but why do some of them cause so much trouble and if you ask black and white children to draw themselves or trees or houses some strange things happen we asked some ordinary white kids from ordinary families to make some drawings for us like well let's call him John John's White and we asked him to draw himself this is John this is his house and this is his tree then we asked the black kid let's call him Ralph to do the same thing this is Ralph's drawing of himself this is his tree now why should two kids of the same age draw so differently enter the expert this is Dr Emanuel Hammer psychiatrist specializing in children's therapy oh let me illustrate it for you let's take these drawings no matter what a child draws he's really picturing himself ask a secure child to draw a tree and he's likely to draw a bountiful spreading tree a black child Drew this tree cut off in its growth Stark bare ungratified it works the same way with drawings of people normal children average drawings the mood is Happy the child feels capable the drawings are complete and the arms are developed to emphasize strength these children were old enough to draw complete figures the significant fact is what they left out arms hands acha May sense that the situation in life is so powerless that he himself is equivalent to an armless man my own study reveals that armless people appear three times more frequently in the drawings by black children than those by white The Faceless being suggest that these youngsters not only feel themselves to be less than they might be they don't even feel themselves to be the black child who is forced to live in a hostile world may disappear in self-defense he drifts through life feeling like a shadow he stops caring and he stops trying a child who has this on his mind cannot be a child a child who has this on his mind could want to burn down cities when he gets older the whole confusion was summed up by a black 9-year-old in these two paintings this is a 99-year-old boy draws a white man Robin Hood maybe and this is how the same boy draws himself and this is the consequence of deformed history Linda close the curtains Brian lower the screen Bonnie lights please the past 50 years 33,000 feature films have been made in the United States and about 6,000 of them have had parts for black actors for the most part the black portraits have been drawn by white writers white producers and white directors for a white audience most black parts were the way white Americans wanted them to be the black male was consistently shown as nobody nothing he had no qualities that could be admired By Any Man or more particularly any [Music] woman white people didn't like to think much about them sort of like a relative uh you got in a rest home when happy [ __ ] dancing and singing was all they wanted to hear about being good Christians the whites out front like to think the blacks out back were kind of [Music] happy Uncle Tom's Cabin was one of the first movies made that tried to say anything about black people Uncle time was changed a little each time it was put on the stage and all the parts were played by white actors and by the time they made a movie of it in 1903 Uncle Tom was just the white man's idea of a good good [ __ ] you might say he was what H rap Brown ate they made this picture five times by the time they finished with it Mickey Rooney could have played Uncle [Music] Tom Minal shows started as a black man's entertainment for himself and the plantation owners when they were filmed though they were done by a white cast you figure that out they were done as sort of joke and the black entertainer couldn't even get a job making fun of himself the first really vicious anti-negro film was called The Birth of a Nation and it was a honey and the second worst thing about it was that technically in 1918 it was the best movie that had ever been made cat named DW Griffith produced it and he knew how see Birth of a Nation pretended to tell the story of the Civil War and what happened afterwards when the slaves were fre white woman couldn't walk on her own sidewalk if you believe the picture in the South Negroes got the right to vote the movie showed black vote collectors refusing to accept white votes and black people sneaking in extra votes and if these black bad guys don't look very bad to you it's probably because they were white actors wearing burnt cork negro legislators took over in the South and in the film they were made to look like apes this was the movie version of how it looked in the southern state legislature they drank whiskey they ate chicken with their hands in the state house and they put their feet up on the table with the shoes off and of course they passed all sorts of crazy laws according to the film like anybody could marry anybody they wanted to it was obvious to anyone who saw this picture that Negroes weren't fit to govern themselves or anyone else because they really weren't people this film is 50 years old and it may look silly and out of date now but it didn't look silly when it was made and seen several million Americans who saw it were propagandized to believe that this is the way things would be if they weren't careful so they've been pretty careful Colonel Cameron a former officer in the Confederate Army is all upset over the way Northerners in the breed slaves are changing his South taking a mint Jep right out of his mouth so he takes a walk one day while he's worrying about it and he sees two white kids playing then four black kids come [Music] along being hardly human and naturally afraid of ghosts black kids run car Cameron sees the whole scene gets his great idea and with this that great white allamerican organiz ization the KKK was born Cavalry and the bed sheet has come to the rescue the south is saved in this picture the clu clux Clan was the good boy who saved the South most Hollywood films though even the early ones weren't really nasty nobody was sitting around saying hey let's take care of the [ __ ] what producers were doing was making money and to make money they made pictures that white ticket buyers would enjoy they showed Negroes the way most Americans like to think of them to blame Hollywood is like throwing a rock at the mirror because you don't like what you see in it Bert Williams was one of the great Vaudeville performers he couldn't get parts in white pictures so he made a lot of short comedies he played the part most Americans consider typical negro he wasn't bad really just lazy stupid and happy the way he was and his feet hurt he was afraid of most everything and when he was scared he shook and his teeth chattered unlike a scared white man the black man's eyes could pop out of his head when he was scared he was so scared he couldn't talk he was also so scared he couldn't run black women on the other hand was steady and imperturbable they stood like a rock on the face of things that scared black men another strange physical characteristic was when they were really very scared the guys turned white when you look back on these old films the patterns come jumping out at you the most consistent thing about them was the attack on the black man he was never even given the privilege of being a man he was a boy as in you know here boy they had a lot of other great qualities besides being cowardly and for instance they stole chickens who's in there who's in there a nobody in here but us [Applause] chickens they shot crabs D your Pap talking to you now D come on just just hit this one more time ah and lions weren't the only thing they were afraid of either they were afraid of gorillas what is that you next to me W is that you next now come on W now don't start come on tell me the truth is that you next to me W and for please say yes that's you they were also afraid of ghosts and skeletons yeah is that you scratching my head yeah now come on now what are you looking [Music] [Laughter] [Music] at what your hurry boys even when they were little boys they had these characteristics finina in our gang was the boy boy the tradition of the lazy stupid crap shooting chicken stealing idiot was popularized by an actor named Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry Cat made $2 million in 5 years in the middle 30s and everyone who ever saw a movie laughed at stepping fetchet come out come out wherever you is

it was very thoughtful and sweet come now dear I'll see you later and I'll save you some cake he'll be waiting I suppose it might have surprised a lot of Hollywood writers and producers to know a scene like that could actually make a lot of people mostly black sick to their stomach this is a lot of fun isn't it the news reels that was shown along with feature films knew a good thing when they saw one they helped keep all the black cats in their place nobody black ever did anything very newsy in a news [Music] reel they did things like eat watermelon and watermelon eating contest then another favorite for the news real cameraman was to film people throwing things at them good sport some college football publicity man decided this was a good idea and they were a lot of very funny golf pictures if you weren't black they were funny I guess [Applause] light out just right out of your mouth don't miss boss don't miss well you keep SPS hey otherwise you'll have flowers in your room and you won't smell them oh boy oh wait everything suggested the black man was nothing Hollywood adopted a sort of British attitude toward black natives of other countries they were always sneaking around the bushes you know carrying stuff on the head white men weren't supposed to get caught sweating Anne Harding played a scene in a picture called Prestige and stated the colonial attitude don't let it break Andre take to him your race for a wedding GI The Prestige of the white man that means everything you stand for and it is the only weapon you two will have Prestige that it is enough to preserve you yes sir and I'll try to remember it if you'll kiss me even though most nonwhite natives of any place were Savages in films it often pleased white producers to endow a few chosen blacks with the virtue of great loyalty to him the white man here's one defending Anne Harden to the death there was always one loyal and true black man who would do anything for his master some of them were wonderful people you know if you really get a good one mostly though Negroes were not Heroes they were a bit part servants railroad pters your step watch your step now this is your destination folks

pictures dumb but loyal yeah Jack isn't this a beautiful night I just love party don't you I beg you pardon thank you kindly yes hello oh this is a baron resident [Music] and things were getting pretty tough during the 30s a good thing for a lot of black actors was that they made a movie called The Green Pastures with like they say a cast of thousands it gave a lot of people work but it had all the old stereotyped characters it was clever and funny and all black but it was a white man's picture I'm Indian Henry youu got their prettiest wing oh they just my old ones cigar gentlemen cig cigar genten cig oh Lord the smoke house is empty oh Lord let me get them groceries oh Lord let me see that little six well come on you going to feed me or not hey well you just a little boy gambling

town you find my M do more than I can while Hollywood was turning out films radio came along and decided to get in on it too two white Fells from Chicago invented two black characters they named amus and Andy they played their parts on the radio for 30 years this is them doing their bit well brother looks pretty good since he's been here at Palm SS don't he yeah look like his wife done beat him on when radio moved over to let television in Amos and Andy went with it these two white cats couldn't play Amos and Andy where you could see them so what they did was they had a black cast cast was different but the stereotypes were the ones the white people had come to know in love they were Shady characters with money well I got the books right here and they're open to each and every brother complete inspection get your hands off of that thing there so you want to see the find answer books huh yeah well there he is there he is you done see them had the be J still slow and lazy are you

a lot ah Mr Brown my new secretary here ain't going to have no time for no extra cuticle activities and I'm telling you now as long as you have that secretary in your office I'm going to work as a secretary myself oh give me an old tomato huh I put my foot down that trouble with women a and it was always the women who were dominant come on Herman [Applause] mostly black actors aren't playing the old stereotypes anymore there are people who say they're playing a new stereotype Sydney portier is always helping some little old ladies across the street whether they want to go or not black people in this country got a Bumm deal for a long while and it won't hurt much if uh we see a little of that now and then Stanley Kramer has let us use some scenes from Guess Who's Coming to Dinner you look at these and remember Birth of a Nation this is the opening scene when kathern hton is bringing Sydney home for the first time this is Dr Apprentice John Miss Matilda Binks pleased to meet you Miss Binks I've certainly heard a great deal about you Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy are the girl's parents God's right she's 23 years old and the way she is is just exactly the way we brought her up to be we answer her question she listened to our answers we told her it was wrong to believe that the white people were somehow essentially superior to the black people or the brown or the red or the yellow ones for that matter people who thought that way were wrong to think that way sometimes hateful usually stupid but always always wrong that's what we said and when we said it we did not add but don't ever fall in love with a colored man Sydney tells it like it is to his old man you and your whole lousy generation believes the way it was for you is the way it's got to be and not until your whole generation has Lain down and died will the dead weight of you be off our backs you understand you've got to get off my back [Music] dad [Music] dad you're my father I'm your son I love you I always had and I always [Music] will but you think of yourself as a colored man I think of myself as a man [Music] by the time the world of movies and the world of Education get into the streets of Black America some strange things happen because what history and the movies have told the black man is that he's nobody unless he joins the white world the white world only comes into the black ghetto by messenger the message used to read black is nothing white is beautiful for this reason a lot of black people have spent their lives trying to be white for instance hair some people still call straight hair good hair because it looks like white hair kinky hair is bad hair the man on the right is having his haircut naturally the man on the left is having a process what the barber is doing is applying harsh chemicals to his head so he'll have straight hair like all those movie stars have it's a painful long job that costs about $6 and has to be looked after every couple of weeks these days many young black men find the whole process demeaning it's going out of fashion even in the ghetto it takes pain to become like a white man and more pain when you know you can't make [Music] it for a while it seemed to the black community that the way to escape was to get as rich as possible and look as white as possible and as affluence came to some black people all the lessons of history and all the lessons of the movie seem to be succeed on the white man's terms so the middleclass Negro took the white man's dreams and tried to make them his today many middleclass Negroes have the education and the money to provide themselves with all the white man's dreams but one universal social acceptability he has not yet been able to join in any normal or casual way the white man's affluent society so he has his own the white man's attitudes still exclude the black man and the black woman there's a fallacy in this country that says that any man by his merits can make it that is not true do not believe that it is not true because any man in the society cannot make it that's where the whole fallacy is white man keeps saying to you if you just stop being black if you just stop shooting your your your people on Saturday night you just stop talking negro dial you clean yourself up get yourself a job you going to make it in the society is not true I know for myself I have a master's degree in social work and I know that people won't accept me and I was an honor student and I know I can make it they won't accept me they don't discriminate against me because I'm a Christian they're discriminating against me because I'm blind the message down here is coming in stronger it's be yourself be black the new generation of black young Americans is asserting itself in a new and possibly disturbing way many black Americans are giving up on American society if you can't wash white even if you have the money if you can't wash white because you are basically black what you do is react sometimes radically here is a measure of the reaction to white is beautiful this is a storefront School in Philadelphia the children are being given a black preparation before they enter the city's Schools they're not especially gifted children they're just from the neighborhood one black man named John Churchville put it all together and financed it himself right you understand that all right a number is a concept of quantity or an amount that is wrong no no a number is a concept of quantity or an amount that is dead wrong he's not only teaching new math to Children whose ages range from 17 months to 5 years he's decided to give them the emotional armor they need to protect themselves against the education they're sure to receive when they start kindergarten anybody

they're going to try to you know get you not to love black people they're going to try to get you to you know be something other than you are they're going to try to make you make it seem as though you're different from the masses of black people and they want you to be go away now I tell you I'll give you special things if you just come along with me and do what I say but you must reject that now you know what that means that means you're not going to have the money you'd like to have and money is not important we need money we you know we have to buy things with it but money is not the thing that we're living for the only thing that makes a person worth living is being a man and being a woman being strong in character being straight telling the truth and living in the truth and doing the right thing you understand that so no matter what happens I want you all to always tell the what you may not get the marks you're supposed to get in school you may be doing the work but because a teacher doesn't like your attitude and she'll always tell you I don't like your attitude because you're independent but you're not going to school for grades you're going for what yeah all
