-4- The first program in the series concerned the positive African cultural heritage in current Black American life (because this was basic introduction, this program was repeated three separate times). The second in the series took up the negative aspects of the "cultural carryover". Aired on Mondays, each segment will automatically be repeated on the following Saturday. Through songs, dances, games, lectures and drama, Miss Angelou deals with the survival as well as revival of African culture in America. What does that mean? Well, for instance, on program #1 the survival of such African games and manners as patti-cake, tag, jacks, finger pointing, vocal sounds and intonation changes, good luck symbols, "southern hospitality", religious and rhythmic expressions and white female affectation are analyzed and exhibited. The series provides the San Francisco Bay Area community with a com¬ prehensive television exposure of black culture void of white interpretation, condescension or white interposition. It exhibits the viable, on-going culture of generations of Black people in their individual and distinctive facets of language, dress, cooking, family relationships, recreation. . . . the whole order of human existence. Jon Rice, KOED Program Director says that though the series is addressed to the Negro community, it offers white audiences "a unique opportunity to penetrate and observe a mystique which they know exists but which they have never experienced. " The remaining eight segments of "BLACKS, BLUES, BLACK!" go after the following: "The Positive Aspects in Teaching African History" "Negative Aspects in Teaching African History" "Researchers in African and Afro-American History. . • , Their Motives; Their Results" "Aspirations of Black American Youth in Education" "Avoiding Useless or Non-Applicable Education" "Violence in Black American Life" "Containment, Sublimation, and Releases of Violence" "Summary" Assisting Miss Angelou are Blondell Breed and Danny Duncan, interpretive dancers from the Zack Thompson Dance Studio of San Francisco and musicians Kenyu Randu on drums and Alphonso Mitchell at the piano. The series is produced by Tony Batten; the sets designed by Darryl Clegg; and the cinematographer is Allen Willis. . . . all three Negroes. "BLACKS, BLUES, BLACKS!" doesn't preach. A team of gifted, articulate black artists simply tells it like it is. CONTACT: Jonathan Rice, Program Director )jC Sfc
