This 1966 CBS News documentary (with correspondent Mike Wallace — father of Fox News correspondent Chris Wallace) examines shifting attitudes among both African Americans and whites on the pace and strategies of the black nationalist struggle. It prominently features the incendiary Black Power agitator, Marxist Stokley Carmichael, predecessor of the contemporary Black Lives Matter insurgency, and contrasts his militancy with that of non-violent resistance fostered by Dr. Martin Luther King. This historic program is really interesting and captures the sentiment on both sides of the racial issue and perhaps most importantly, the demographic stratification of voter opinion very well. It brings to mind how white, communist-dominated labour unions were the political force driving the institution of apartheid in South Africa.
