Summary
  • Broadcast from the International Black Writers Conference in Chicago split into two sections. First section (until 32:35), Ellis Cose, staff columnist for the Chicago Sun Times, gives a speech recounting his experiences of the "New South" and how it shares many features with the "Old North" and the North in its current form, referring to race relations, drugs in Black communities, and the South's school systems. He then takes questions. Second section (beginning at 33:19), Sam Greenlee reads his and his students' poems that touch on topics of slavery, dual consciousness, and Black relationships. He takes questions about his views on Black education, and the role of Black writers.
