A look back at the first show of this program back in 1968. Episode 4634/Segment 2

All this year, we’ve been celebrating the 50th anniversary of this program on Detroit Public Television. It was created as a response to the 1967 Detroit rebellion as a way to give African Americans a larger voice in the media. When the show first hit the airwaves, it was titled CPT or “Colored People’s Time.” Here are some highlights from one of the early shows. Episode 4634/Segment 2
