BLACK ON BLACK (KNXT, 7/18/1968)
(1968)

Broadcast during the tension-filled summer of 1968, "Black on Black" gave African-American residents of South Central Los Angeles a chance to speak for themselves about their lives, without narrator, host, reporter, script or commercial interruption. One critic called the award-winning show, "the best documentary ever made on what it feels like to be black and live in the urban ghetto."
