Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The 90-Year Struggle of the NAACP

Hosted by Julian Bond and Nancy Wilson, Walk a Mile in My Shoes presents a history of the oldest civil rights organization in America, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which has sought, throughout nearly a century, to find redress for racial injustice within the prevailing system, using the courts and public opinion to achieve its aims. While more militant groups, such as the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam, have criticized the NAACP for being too beholden to the white man's society, pointing out that it owed its existence to prominent whites who lobbied for changes in the way African-Americans were treated, the NAACP has achieved many victories over the years. Unfortunately, this program is visually uninvolving, presenting a 'talking heads' approach rather than a dramatic overview of this remarkable organization. Still, larger collections may want to consider for the content. [Note: This is also being sold direct to consumers for $29.95.] Aud: H, C, P. (J. Carlson)
