-3- station has taken on part-time a cinematographer who is Negro who works with other staffers on ghetto film segments. OUR PEOPLE is promoted by advertisements weekly in four Negro papers (paid for by the series' underwriters), and radio announcements. Feedback, in addition to community organization reaction already averages 200 individual responses (telephone and mail) each week. Hosted by Jim Tilmon, a former Columbus, Georgia radio announcer, who currently flys as an American Airlines pilot, OUR PEOPLE hits the viewers with their own thing. . . .the personalities, the issues, the questions that hurt as black citizens. OUR PEOPLE is produced and directed by Peter Strand assisted by Elizabeth Straus and Dolores Brown, and is written by Doris Saunders. OUR PEOPLE is the hot production at WTTW at the moment. But that isn't all. Hopefully, the station will get a grant renewal to carry this exceptional series well beyond the present terminal date of October 31st. But that isn't the only action by any means. A series on Negro Youth and another aimed at Negro teenagers are both being readied for late Fall. Watch WTTW. It's a station that is in the movement with intelligence, foresight and real follow-through ability. CONTACT: Edward L. Morris, Director of Programming * * ❖ * KOED, San Francisco has whomped into the middle of what its all about with"BLACKS, BLUES, BLACK!" a ten week color series featuring Maya Angelou of Ghana. Let me take a stab at that provocative title. In going back to the roots of the American Negro, the program searches the African heritage, or the heritage of the "Blacks. " The period of slavery (including intellectual slavery of the 20th Century) found expression in the "Blues" a medium of expression that recorded a peoples' history and served as a steam valve. "Black!" (and note that excla¬ mation point) says the beauty, power, in fact the whole summed-up-significance of Black America's new identity. The three words then, "BLACKS, BLUES, BLACK!" offer an historical and anthropological survey of Blackness. Miss Angelou, a citizen of the U. S. and a resident of Ghana is a singer, dancer, actress, reporter and playwright. In the series, Miss Angelou develops and demonstrates the history, heritage and habits of Blacks and how their mores and values have been preserved and assimilated into the society. Made possible by a public service grant from the Olympia Brewing Company of Tumwater, Washington, the series made its debut to warm viewer reception on July 8th.
