- Episode Description
- Among the bitter attitudes and ideologies swirling through the black communities, at least one notion strikes a powerful chord of concurrence: above all African Americans want control of their own destinies. Self help has a great deal to do with control of one's own destiny and a simple matter of human pride. Newsweek editor Osborn Elliott; Berkeley G. Burrell, president of the National Business League of Washington, D.C. Elmer Young, Jr., administrative executive of the Opportunities Industrialization Center; and Raymond Brown, vice president of the Freedom National Bank, New York, discuss the matter.
