Between Civil War and Civil Rights
Series produced by Alan Lipke
A rich, oral-based cultural history, documenting and debating U.S. race relations from Emancipation to the Civil Rights Movement, and exploring how that history continues to effect us.
With numerous eyewitness accounts, rare period music recordings, and narrative contributions by James Earl Jones and Studs Terkel.
The series currently has 5 full-hour documentaries; an optional half-hour documentary; and a one-hour "conversation-starter" about the press and race. It can be broadcast in hour-length programs, or as (approximately) 10-13 half-hours. It can also be broken down into numerous short tracks for drop-ins to magazine shows and talk shows.
These programs have been distributed by PRI, and excerpted by Pacifica and adapted on NPR's flagship magazine shows. Awards received include the New York Festivals' Grand Award, the RTNDA/Unity Award, an RTNDA Murrow, and NCLB awards.
Between Civil War and Civil Rights is a work-in-progress; we invite producers and stations to join us in developing additional segments for the remaining documentaries, and in producing public discussion forums and conversation-starter programs.
