Dick Gregory on Cities
VS comedian-activist Dick Gregory seated at table in front of classroom chalkboard; uniformed adult Caucasian male police officer standing by door. African-American adult male reporter, seated; adult Caucasian men standing and listening in BG. Gregory seated at table with African American adult male and Caucasian adult female opposite him; 16mm film camera on tripod. Gregory talking about the progress of Richard Nixon, claims that more schools have been integrated under President Nixon in six months than the Democrats have done in sixteen years, done in spite of Nixon, not because of him. Now that there's no deal to be made with the White House, the African-American community has had to come together and address its own issues. There have been fewer riots since Nixon has been in office, arguing the reason being due to a Republican being in office-- when Democratic Presidents and mayors were in office, there was no pressure to submit a workable poverty program, implying Democrats knew African Americans were going to vote for them anyway.
