Black Like Me (1964)
This is not reverse racism...
"Black Like Me" is a real story. It was written by a white man who dealt with the South in a time when this treatment towards black people took place. How can you call it reverse racism. You need to read the book to understand it better. It is written by a white man who went through this experience himself. His name is John Howard Griffin. He felt that it was needed to see the perspective of a black person and by doing so he made himself black. It was a rough time for black people during those years in the U.S., especially in the South. I think he did a great job writing the book and I like this movie a lot. It's hard to find, but I have it on DVD recorded from cable.
When Havoc Struck (1978)
It's funny that I still remember this show.
I believe this show was sponsored by Mobile Fuel Company. They called it The Mobile Showcase. "When Havoc Struck" was like "In Search Of..." (Leonard Nimoy), hosted by Glenn Ford, a 30 minute program about world disasters. I remember the opening having the "O" in Mobile with filled with gasoline swishing back and forth. Some of the programs were kind of depressing to me but, I watched them anyway. I was about 13 years old. One of the shows I remember well was about the Coconut Grove nightclub fire in Boston. What a sad incident it was. I wonder where these films got to? I'd like to see it again on TV. Does anyone have any information this program?
