All Men are Brothers: American Masters

Rating
0.0 stars

This video [3:38] segment from American Masters' James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket illustrates the activist's intolerance for violence or racial hatred expressed by anyone, black or white. In the mid-1960s, Baldwin's principles put him in conflict with Eldridge Cleaver and a new black militant faction, who advocated a reciprocal response to the violence they often experienced. Baldwin struggled with the paradox of acknowledging the violent conditions facing many black Americans and his advocacy for the brotherhood of man. Baldwin could never truly join the black militants as he strongly believed that "the world is held together by the love and the passion of a very few people." Teaching materials are included.

The Civil Rights Movement: Black Power and Sports: Retro Report
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

This 11-minute video tells the story of Tommie Smith and John Carlos, their raised-fist Black Power salute on the medal podium during the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, and the consequences they went on to face. This video shows the development of the civil rights protests of the 1960s, and how the cultural context of that decade led to a wave of protests by athletes. It illustrates how the cultural context of the 1980s caused a decline in political consciousness among athletes. Finally it addresses how recent shootings and misconduct by police officers have fueled a resurgence of athlete activism. The video includes footage and discussion of Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan and O.J. Simpson. It will help students understand the complexities and challenges that black athletes face on the public stage. Students will learn how the modern take-a-knee protest movement, started by Colin Kaepernick, is directly linked to the Olympics protest in 1968.
