The Issue Is Race - A Crisis In Black and White (1992) | Phil Donahue Sister Souljah Debate COMPLETE

This 2-hour video examines the issue of Black and White race relations in the 25 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act. The video presents a panel of activists, scholars, and policymakers who explore the connection between race and poverty and examine how improvements to race relations can lead to reductions in crime and positive economic benefits for all levels of society. An overview of the problem of race and poverty is presented at the beginning of the video and it includes a cost/benefit analysis of the effect of crime and poverty on the economy. The reporter notes that youth who commit crimes and end up in prison are costs to society, whereas if they were accorded opportunities for work and being successful they would become benefits to society. Following this presentation, the panel of experts discusses changes and improvements to race relations in the past 25 years (pre-1992) and what still needs to be done to improve the situation between Blacks and Whites. The discussion was moderated by Phil Donohue, and the panel included Alan Keyes, Senate candidate from Maryland; Richard Nathan, professor at SUNY/Albany; Sister Souljah, rap musician and activist; Jonathan Kozol, educator and author; Anna Deavere Smith, actor and activist; John Silber, president of Boston University; Mayor Sharon Pratt Kelly, Washington, DC; and Dhoruba Bin Wahad, activist.
