Description
Episode Description
This episode features the following segments. 1. The influence of Malcolm X. On the fourth anniversary of his death, the segment will contain an assessment of this impact on the present black movement, and a recollection of the man himself by his widow Betty Shabazz. 2. Crisis in medicine. A report by host Lou House on the inadequate medical care accorded most blacks today, a situation that is aggravated by a current decline in blacks entering medical and dental schools. Also, the report notes efforts being made to encourage blacks into these fields by the Council for Bio-Medical Careers in Chicago, the American Medical Association, and the National Medical Association. 3. Amateur night at the Apollo Theater. A film taken at Harlem's popular hall, where many black entertainers have launched their careers in the past. This segment focuses on a single night at the Apollo when aspiring singers and musicians make their debuts. 4. The derivation of the Afro look. Including a fashion showing of today's styles, the segment traces their influences back to ancient Egypt, the Sudan, and South West Africa where the original "Afros" were born. "Black Journal #9" is an NET production. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
Series Description
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. Starting with the October 5, 1071 broadcast, the show switched to a half-hour weekly format that focused on one issue per week, with a brief segment on black news called "Grapevine." Beginning in 1973, the series changed back into a hour long show and experimented with various formats, including a call-in portion. From its initial broadcast on June 12, 1968 through November 7, 1972, Black Journal was produced under the National Educational Television name. Starting on November 14, 1972, the series was produced solely by WNET/13. Only the episodes produced under the NET name are included in the NET Collection. For the first part of Black Journal, episodes are numbered sequential spanning broadcast seasons. After the 1971-72 season, which ended with episode #68, the series started using season specific episode numbers, beginning with #301. The 1972-73 season spans #301 - 332, and then the 1973-74 season starts with #401. This new numbering pattern continues through the end of the series.
