Newly preserved by the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, Madeline Anderson’s INTEGRATION REPORT 1 (1960) brings viewers to the front lines of the fight for civil rights.
INTEGRATION REPORT 1 examines the struggle for black equality in Alabama, Brooklyn and Washington, D.C., incorporating footage by documentary legends Albert Maysles and Ricky Leacock, protest songs by Maya Angelou, and a speech by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The films of Madeline Anderson are both essential historical records of activism and a vital body of cinematic work.
"A set of three documentaries ... of great moment [and] enduring power." —The New Yorker

♪
00:02:08.166 --> 00:02:13.066
The town where local NAACP
President Robert Williams
00:02:13.066 --> 00:02:15.400
created headlines
when he said,
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:22.533
\"Sometimes, violence
must be met with violence.\"
00:02:22.533 --> 00:02:24.600
Many asked, \"Why?\"
00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:27.700
Because some of the people
who had thought
00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:28.667
that it would be better
00:02:28.667 --> 00:02:32.200
to settle these cases
violently,
00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:34.200
I had been able
to persuade them
00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:37.500
that we should use the courts
and go into the courts,
00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:41.467
so this thing had,
uh, had boomeranged,
00:02:41.467 --> 00:02:44.333
and I was being held
responsible
00:02:44.333 --> 00:02:46.767
for having brought
these cases to court.
00:02:46.767 --> 00:02:51.100
There was a trial
where a Negro maid
00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:54.300
had been kicked down
a flight stairs
00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:55.400
by a white man,
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.100
and that this man
hadn\'\'t even bothered
00:02:59.100 --> 00:03:00.467
to come to his own trial
00:03:00.467 --> 00:03:05.767
and that he had also
been acquitted.
00:03:05.767 --> 00:03:11.734
And there was a demonstration
as a result of this
00:03:11.734 --> 00:03:13.266
in the courtroom
00:03:13.266 --> 00:03:16.433
by the Negro women
of the community.
00:03:16.433 --> 00:03:21.166
And they had approached me
and had said,
00:03:21.166 --> 00:03:23.400
\"Well, you said
that you would see
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.266
that these people
would be punished,
00:03:25.266 --> 00:03:28.066
because through
the organization,
00:03:28.066 --> 00:03:30.467
we would have
competent counsel,
00:03:30.467 --> 00:03:33.367
and that if it hadn\'\'t
been for you,
00:03:33.367 --> 00:03:35.767
that these people
would have been punished.\"
00:03:35.767 --> 00:03:39.667
And they wanted to know
what I would recommend
00:03:39.667 --> 00:03:41.734
that they do from then on.
00:03:41.734 --> 00:03:43.400
And so, I recommended
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.066
that they meet violence
with violence,
00:03:46.066 --> 00:03:52.066
that Negroes must be prepared
to repulse attacks,
00:03:52.066 --> 00:03:54.133
that they must be
willing to fight,
00:03:54.133 --> 00:03:56.233
that they must be
willing to die
00:03:56.233 --> 00:03:58.200
and to kill, if necessary,
00:03:58.200 --> 00:04:02.400
that there was no law
under the 14th Amendment
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.066
to the United States
Constitution
00:04:04.066 --> 00:04:07.467
of equal protection
in the South,
00:04:07.467 --> 00:04:08.333
and that, therefore,
00:04:08.333 --> 00:04:10.266
they didn\'\'t have
any deterrent,
00:04:10.266 --> 00:04:11.400
so they would have to create
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.200
the deterrent force
themselves
00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:17.600
by meeting violence
with violence.
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.233
Nightmares are not
the sole property
00:04:20.233 --> 00:04:22.066
of Southern sleepers.
00:04:22.066 --> 00:04:24.433
This is Brooklyn, New York,
00:04:24.433 --> 00:04:27.567
where headlines tell
of repeated incidents
00:04:27.567 --> 00:04:30.233
of police brutality.
00:04:31.166 --> 00:04:33.300
Perhaps I\'\'m not
the right person
00:04:33.300 --> 00:04:34.200
to talk about this case,
00:04:34.200 --> 00:04:38.300
but I feel it so deeply
and so closely
00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:40.400
that I\'\'ll not rest
until somebody pays
00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:45.633
for the death of Al Garrett
were he my brother.
00:04:47.433 --> 00:04:48.166
The thing...
00:04:48.166 --> 00:04:50.233
I\'\'m angry about
a number of things,
00:04:50.233 --> 00:04:51.300
not only about Edward Silver,
00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:53.133
the district attorney
of this county,
00:04:53.133 --> 00:04:56.400
who has thus far failed
to arrest the policeman
00:04:56.400 --> 00:04:57.300
who shot him to death,
00:04:57.300 --> 00:04:59.633
but I\'\'m angry with
a lot of my Negro brethren
00:04:59.633 --> 00:05:02.000
who don\'\'t even get angry
about the fact
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.767
that a poor man lies dead
in his grave tonight!
00:05:03.767 --> 00:05:06.533
Attorney Thomas Russell Jones
deplores the slaying.
00:05:06.533 --> 00:05:10.767
He was killed as a result
of a policeman\'\'s bullets
00:05:10.767 --> 00:05:13.266
fired at him
while he was in custody
00:05:13.266 --> 00:05:16.467
in the 79th Precinct
on Gates Avenue.
00:05:16.467 --> 00:05:19.133
This man who had not even
committed any crime,
00:05:19.133 --> 00:05:23.266
he failed to put a bottle
or trash in a can,
00:05:23.266 --> 00:05:27.533
and this trigger-happy cop
took him in,
00:05:27.533 --> 00:05:29.166
marched him
into the police station,
00:05:29.166 --> 00:05:30.533
and there is some testimony
00:05:30.533 --> 00:05:32.533
that as Al Garrett
was being marched
00:05:32.533 --> 00:05:33.433
to the police station,
00:05:33.433 --> 00:05:34.734
he suddenly put up
his hands and said,
00:05:34.734 --> 00:05:36.333
\"Oh, you\'\'re not
gonna do that to me,\"
00:05:36.333 --> 00:05:40.100
and marched, holding his hands
all the way to the precinct.

that you\'\'ve come home
with a victory

00:12:57.667 --> 00:13:00.767
We had been asked
that the parents
00:13:00.767 --> 00:13:06.033
not go to Glendale
because of the tension
00:13:06.033 --> 00:13:09.000
from the parents in Glendale.

did not want

Children from

Some of the parents did not
send their children.

However, the ones
that were anxious

for their children

00:13:38.533 --> 00:13:40.767
they didn\'\'t fear anything
00:13:40.767 --> 00:13:46.100
because when you are anxious
to achieve something,
00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:49.300
you forget about fear.

Do your children go

No, they don\'\'t,

-Uh-huh, well,

for your presence

on the picket line today?
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.600
I believe the children
of Bedford-Stuyvesant area
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:04.700
deserve their own school.
00:14:04.700 --> 00:14:06.166
They shouldn\'\'t
have to be bused
00:14:06.166 --> 00:14:10.133

by politicians.

-Two.

-Mm-hm.

Are you going
to keep them out?
00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:16.000
I couldn\'\'t say that right now.

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.266
-Yes.
-What was the reason?

I\'\'m protesting
the school transfer,
00:14:20.767 --> 00:14:23.633
because they\'\'re bypassing
underutilized schools.
00:14:23.633 --> 00:14:26.533
There\'\'s other schools they can
put these children in,
00:14:26.533 --> 00:14:28.600
so there\'\'s no reason
for this transfer.
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:30.033
Well, do you feel
there are other schools
00:14:30.033 --> 00:14:31.467
-in their own neighborhood?
-That\'\'s right.
00:14:31.467 --> 00:14:34.600
These children shouldn\'\'t be
shipped three, four miles.
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:38.000
Is there any hint
of segregation
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.100
