Summary	On "Black Studies Broadcast Journal" with Professor Mary Ann Williams, a prerecorded lecture led by civil rights activist Reverend Ralph Abernathy. Abernathy addresses the crowd by speaking of several Old Testament stories and how they mirrored the life and death of his late friend, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Abernathy challenges students in the lecture audience to challenge the world around them and to not accept the status quo of race relations or politics in the United States. The speech pivots to address the state Ohio itself and the role it played in the Kent State shootings including Ohio Governor, Jim Rhodes. Abernathy ends his speech advocating for a national health insurance plan and prison reform.
