- This episode of Florida Community College (now Florida State College) at Jacksonville's Jacksonville: The Inside Story offers a look at the complicated and frequently overlapping systems of city and county government that existed before Jacksonville and Duval County consolidated in 1968, and the process through which Consolidation was achieved. It includes extended clips of material created by WJCT and WJXT as well as the editorial film Government by Gaslight, and touches on the Yates Manifesto, the Blueprint for Improvement, and (briefly) the role of the African-American community in Consolidation. The episode is hosted by local Civil Rights activist Earl M. Johnson, who served as Secretary of the Local Government Study Commission.
Special guest appearances by: Dr. Joan Carver (Professor of Political Science at Jacksonville University), John McDonald, J.J. Daniel (Chairman of Commission to Study City and County Governments)
