WBBM Channel 2 - News Special - "Decision at 83rd Street" (1962)

Here's a documentary that aired over WBBM Channel 2, Decision on 83rd Street, written, produced and reported by Hugh Hill (later a political reporter for WBKB / WLS Channel 7). This special deals with the issue of the pending racial integration over the summer of J.E. Merrion's Marynook community on the South Side which consists of 423 homes, and the community of Chatham on "the other side of the tracks" (literally). As this was derived from the original master tape (with film transfer), this is without commercials.

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television: The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes.
