Black Journal: Episode 4 (1968)[The Black Family, Black Farmers & Manufacturing, Gentrification]
A progress report on the Negro family since the beginning of the black revolt. In three sets of interviews, the film tries to determine the extent to which black consciousness has exerted a "cementing force" on family values. One group contains young single men and women; another consists of married women who meet regularly to discuss common goals and problems; the third is a young married couple.
An examination of the university's role in the slums of such cities as New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. The film cites the misuse of urban renewal and eminent domain by some universities in the process of their expansion. Community leaders, affected slum dwellers, and representatives of the University of Pennsylvania and University of Chicago are interviewed.
A study of a Louisiana cooperative, organized by a black parish priest. Originally, a growing venture by for area farmers, the cooperative has expanded into a manufacturing role as well. Among its present businesses is a candy company that supplies Barricini's and other major candy chains.
Black Journal began as a monthly series produced for, about, and - to a large extent - by black Americans, which used the magazine format to report on relevant issues to black Americans.
