This is Russell Meeks speaking on a live public television special in 1968. These shows were run without any editing in an attempt to help Americans cross partisan divides which were extreme at that time. I filmed several documentaries in 1968 and I can tell you from direct experience that just about everybody was angry and many people yelled at each other and at me. And it wasn't just one group or political point of view that was angry–it seemed that just about everyone was ready for if not looking for a fight. This clip presents a part of my experiences with the civil rights movement at that time.
