TLF ID M015410
Imagine that, like many African Americans growing up before the sweeping changes in America in the 1960s, you cannot eat alongside white people, go to white schools, or even ride in the same part of a public bus, even though slavery was abolished more than a century before. This 1968 clip explores the experience of Mae Smith, an African-American social worker, who explains what it was like growing up black in America and hints at the changes that are to come.
