A collection of jazz related short films.
Part of the Global Perspectives on War and Peace Collection. Live coverage of large rally in Central Park to support nuclear disarmament. Tape 2 of 3.
Raw tape for The 90’s election specials. No sound until 18:00. Democratic presidential candidate Paul Tsongas makes an appearance at the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood. This massive, largely black church is full and busy. Its pastor, Dr. Arthur M. Brazier, was an important figure in the Civil Rights Movement as a founder of The Woodlawn Organization. The service starts around twenty one minutes. Tsongas sits next to Dr. Brazier during the service, awkwardly clapping along to the gospel choir. The most amusing part of the tape occurs at thirty two minutes when Tsongas is unsure of what to do upon receiving the collection plate. Brazier sees him and snatches it away.
Footage for The 90’s Election Specials. Videomaker Andrew Jones travels on the coach bus (from Peter Pan bus company) used by the Bill Clinton campaign to Springfield, Massachusetts, where a Columbus day parade is about to take place.
