My very talented friend Marylou Tibaldo-Bongiorno’s documentary Revolution ’67, about the uprising in Newark in July 1967, will be premiering on PBS as part of their P.O.V. series on Wednesday July 11th at 10pm.
It’s great – so please watch.
From the P.O.V. site for Revolution ’67:
“Revolution ’67” is an illuminating account of events too often relegated to footnotes in U.S. history — the black urban rebellions of the 1960s. Focusing on the six-day Newark, New Jersey, outbreak in mid-July 1967, the film reveals how the disturbance began as spontaneous revolts against poverty and police brutality and ended as fateful milestones in America’s struggles over race and economic justice.
And Mary Lou she found out how to cope, she rides to heaven on a gyroscope
