The African American Freedom Movement has in many respects provided a paradigm for other social justice movements in this country from Abolition down to the present. Newsreel has over fifty documentaries which offer definitive social histories of various phases of that movement, including recent releases like "Anne Braden: Southern Patriot" and "The New Black," as well as classics like "The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow," "At the River I Stand," "Tongues Untied" and "Scarred Justice." Most of these titles are now available for site licensing and video-on-demand. Our entire African American Perspectives collection is described at www.newsreel.org. Thanks.
