- To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at www.patreon.com/allinaday. The speaker is Dr. Bernard Anderson. Professor. Author. Corporate executive. I interviewed him in 1989 An estimate questions about the 1950s and 1960s when he was growing up. He was a witness to that time and articulate analyst looked at culture, individual experiences, and the big picture. I will be posting several comments by Dr. Anderson. #1950s #civilrights #bernardanderson

I cannot even express how precious these videos are to me (and I think to many others who do or don't comment). The way these interviews are done emanates a deep reverence for people, something not too prevalent nowadays. Reminds me of the video clip for 74-75 song from the Connells. I use these to teach English, US culture, and soft skills with a great style :)
Thank you Peter. For the comment and for recognizing the style.

Again, everything Dr. Anderson is spot on. I’ve spent most of my adult life in the Baltimore-Washington region, and I’ve been telling people half-jokingly for years that one out of every three black people is from or has roots in North Carolina, South Carolina, or the southern half of Virginia and those of a certain age spent part of their youth picking cotton or “cropping” tobacco. Baltimore fit the mold of what Dr. Anderson is speaking of...auto plants, Bethlehem Steel, Solo Cups, etc. DC, on the other hand, was more “southern”. It’s where black people traveling south on buses and trains had to move to the back. However, a lot of black people ended up in DC by virtue of the OTHER major way out of rural poverty: the military. And while DC may not have had manufacturing, it did have the federal government which has employed multitudes of well educated and accomplished black veterans for decades. My father and two of his siblings joined the military to escape eastern North Carolina. That’s how I ended up here.
This guy is so interesting to listen to, could listen to him all day
Thank you for this fascinating film.
"community groups ... tended to provide a training ground for many black activists who later acquired other positions in politics."
What prophetic words!
From black people in Baltimore MD thank you
You are a great arbitor of people David.
This is good wish i could watch all of it in one video.
Bite size pieces may be best, to accommodate the purposely conditioned short attention spans and the less pensive.
I agree that economic opportunities played a major role for why African-Americans left the South during the Great Migration. It was certain a big reason my paternal grandparents left the South (and why my father was born and raised in Milwaukee). It wasn't the only reason. Jim Crow was a big push factor. The oppressive, plantation-esque Jim Crow environment of the South was a big reason many Blacks left too.
Very eloquent man
Got to live like a decent human being.
