Description
Episode Description
This program examines the spreading civil rights boycotts of northern schools. It surveys the positive and negative effectiveness of the boycotts, what these boycotts do to the political and asocial structure of a city, and probes whether this method for promoting school integration is a valid use of the boycott. To present an in-depth report, camera crews will go to one of these cities New York, Boston, or Chicago to show the preparation for a school integration boycott scheduled for February 25. Educators, teachers, pupils, civil rights leaders, and parents will be interviewed. There will also be on-the-spot coverage of similar boycotts scheduled for February 11 in one of the following three cities Cambridge, Maryland; Wilmington, Delaware; or Chester, Pennsylvania. Running Time: 28:50 (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
