The overall premise, (which may seem counter-intuitive) that the black population advanced to achieve greater prosperity and overall happiness, or at least, satisfaction with their standard of living and sense of self respect and dignity in the years between the Civil War and the 1964 Civil Rights Act, versus the decades post the 1960s is intelligently discussed and makes for interesting viewing (even if, from a cinetmatic perspective, this film is undistinguished). The participants in this film are to be commended for their courage in voicing a perspective that amidst current times is not politically correct.
