The Civil Rights Movement and Television
ABC Bell & Howell Close-up!: Walk in My Shoes
The critically acclaimed and Emmy-nominated documentary Walk in my Shoes, produced, directed, and cowritten by Nicholas Webster (and cowritten by Louis Lomax), candidly and sensitively examined the world of the African American during the early sixties. Jack Gould of the New York Times described this program as “a work of artistry, courage and power... a stunning accomplishment... brilliant... attempted an especially difficult feat and succeeded superbly... inspired use of camera... a sense of reality both powerful and poignant... a human document of admirable dimension and value.” This program gave viewers unprecedented insight into the lives, thoughts, and experiences of those behind and immersed in the civil rights movement. (1961; 52 minutes)
