It's quite discomfitting during conversations about Afro-American history to see the rope from a pull-down classroom screen or map resembling nothing so much as a noose dangling behind the speaker.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

To Dr. Carson or an assistant to Dr. Carson:

Please give us the names of the film clips which are left out of the talks, I assume, because of copyright issues.

These are wonderful, informative discussions. Thanks for uploading them.

Nor can you negate what he is teaching therefore take away from the video what you want and think about it...Why does this have anything to do with respecting Dr. Carson......I challenge you to be more thoughtful and not as confrontational

Malcolm spoke against the southern part of the movement as did most northerners. Being an obvious supporter of Dr. King, the speaker is bias. The southern part of the movement is not the "Movement" it is just part of it. What about any myths around Dr. King. He does mention this in regards to Dr. King. He did not work with Malcolm so as the sister of the Black Panther's said, in regards to someone not being a Panther, he cannot speak about someone he does not know personally. He lost my respect.
