description About
Our People was the first televised weekly forum for Black issues - a program for Chicago Blacks, by Chicago Blacks that premiered in the wake of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination. Jim Tilmon, host of Our People, presents excerpts including interviews with a young Harold Washington, then a newly-elected state Congressman; State Senator Richard Newhouse, who provides a fascinating perspective on racial profiling by police; and, as a coda, a lively performance by jazz vocalist Johnny Hartman. Another highlight: Three segments featuring controversial author James Baldwin, who shares his hopes and dreams for his family in the Black community, as well as some blunt assertions about whites.
