Civil Rights Roundtable 1963

Marlon Brando, James Baldwin, Harry Belafonte, Charlton Heston, Joseph Minklelwitz, and Sidney Poitier, talk about the Civil Rights Movement of 1963.

The pacing of this show is so different from today’s news roundtables.

It is also different because they are actually sitting together at a round table, instead of floating in squares on a screen. They are speaking to the other people in the room, not yelling talking points at a camera crew.

Makes for a very different presentation of the discussion. None of that annoying talking and yelling over each other.
