In "Black Power TV," Devorah Heitner chronicles the emergence of
Black public affairs television starting in 1968. She examines two
local shows, New York's "Inside Bedford-Stuyvesant" and Boston's
"Say Brother," and the national programs "Soul " and "Black
Journal." These shows offered viewers radical and innovative
programming: the introspections of a Black police officer in
Harlem, African American high school students discussing visionary
alternatives to the curriculum, and Miriam Makeba comparing race
relations in the United States to apartheid in South Africa. While
"Inside Bedford-Stuyvesant" and "Say Brother" originated from a
desire to contain Black discontent during a period of urban
uprisings and racial conflict, these shows were re-envisioned by
their African American producers as venues for expressing Black
critiques of mainstream discourse, disseminating Black culture, and
modeling Black empowerment. At the national level, "Soul " and
"Black Journal" allowed for the imagining of a Black nation and a
distinctly African American consciousness, and they played an
influential role in the rise of the Black Arts Movement. "Black
Power TV" reveals how regulatory, activist, and textual histories
are interconnected and how Black public affairs television
redefined African American representations in ways that continue to
reverberate today.
