This variety-talk show featuring African-American artistry, community and culture was also a platform for political expression and the fight for social justice. It showcased live performances by funk, soul, jazz, and world musicians, and had in-depth interviews with figures from politics, sports, the literary world and more. WNET recorded the series with the then-new technology of videotape.
