Description
Series Description
"This is a four-part series produced for Public Access Television in Washington, D.C. Each show is a one-on-one interview with: "ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON, who has a long and distinguished career in community activism and public service, from stints with SNCC in the Mississippi Delta, to Chairwoman of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, to United States Congresswoman. "PATRICE GAINES, who went from teenage motherhood, heroin and prison to become a reporter for The Washington Post and the award-winning author of Laughing in the Dark: From Colored Girl to Woman of Color. "NIEN CHENG, who survived over six years of imprisonment, as well as the murder of her only child, during China's Cultural Revolution. Since then, Cheng has written the bestselling book Life and Death in Shanghai and become a proud U.S. citizen. "SONYA PROCTOR, a woman who rose through the ranks of Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department to become Assistant Chief of Police. "WHY PEABODY CONSIDERATION' To program and operate our Public Access station (DCTV in Washington, D.C.), volunteers contributed 48,000 hours in 1998. We believe that Public Access television is produced in a manner which brilliantly reflects the purpose of the Peabody Award: Meritorious public service in radio and television. None of the programming is dictated by the needs of the 'marketplace,' other than the marketplace of knowledge and ideas. Please enjoy our series, 'Extraordinary Women of Washington, D.C.'"--1998 Peabody Awards entry form.
