| Convocation of United Methodist Clergywomen 1979, Part 1 |
Speaker(s): Annette Hutchins-Felder |
Description:
Ms. Annette Hutchins-Felder deals with the question, "Have the Black movement and the women's movement hurt each other?" Hutchins-Felder noted the tendency demonstrated by members of the white male structure to promote blacks who identify with the white community, and to advance women who don't identify with the women's movement. This was from a gathering of 650 women clergy and seminarians in Dallas in January, 1979. It appears Hutchins-Felder's talk to the group was not recorded, and this is her own recording of the presentation. It speeds up as it runs, indicating her cassette recorder was slowing down as she recorded. |

| Drama |
Speaker(s): Stanley Hopper |
Description:
Classroom lecture, probably recorded in 1965. This recording ends before the lecture is finished. Stanley Hopoer, along with David Leroy Miller, developed "Theopoetics" - an interdisciplinary field of study that combines elements of poetic analysis, process theology, narrative theology, and postmodern philosophy. It suggests that instead of trying to develop a "scientific" theory of God, as Systematic Theology attempts, theologians should instead try to find God through poetic articulations of their lived experiences. |

Speaker(s): Robert Jones-Felder |
Description: Rev. Robert E. Jones-Felder (1938-2006) talks about his personal experience in the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church. This recording is from a series of interviews conducted by Pamela Crosby at a 2004 reunion of persons who were part of the Central Jurisdiction. As a minister in the Texas Annual Conference of the South Central Jurisdiction, Jones Felder voted against the merger of the Central Jurisdiction. He did not feel that church leadership was truly committed to integration and wanted assurances that African Americans would be represented throughout the boards and agencies of the church. Today, Felder says, "We've come a long way. We have not arrived where we ought to be, but I do think that we've come a long way." - UMNS photo by Mike DuBose. | Length: 3:01 | Recording Date: 8/28/2004 | Recorded at: College Park, Georgia | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: College Park, Georgia | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: United Methodist Communications | Rights: Copyright is held by United Methodist Communications.

Speaker(s): William McClain |
Description: Rev. Dr. William B. "Bobbie" McClain (1938-2020) talks about his personal experience in the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church. This recording is from a series of interviews conducted by Pamela Crosby at a 2004 reunion of persons who were part of the Central Jurisdiction. McClain has a rich Methodist heritage. His Alabama ancestors founded the Sweet Home Methodist Church in 1872, and he was ordained in the Central Alabama Conference of the Central Jurisdiction. Having led churches in Alabama before the abolition of the jurisdiction, he remembers the fellowship within its structure with fondness and appreciation but says, "Black people were abused and insulted and disappointed that the church was not willing to be one church." McClain was the Mary Elizabeth Joyce professor of preaching and worship at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington. | Length: 2:16 | Recording Date: 8/28/2004 | Recorded at: College Park, Georgia | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: College Park, Georgia | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: United Methodist Communications | Rights: Copyright is held by United Methodist Communications.

Speaker(s): Gilbert H. Caldwell |
Description: The Rev. Gilbert H. "Gil" Caldwell (1934-2020) talks about his personal experience in the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church, and the reunion that took place in August 2004, of persons who were part of the old Central Jurisdiction of the church. Caldwell is a retired UMC pastor. His father was a pastor in the Central Jurisdiction. This recording is from a series of interviews conducted at the reunion by Pamela Crosby. Caldwell says the Central Jurisdiction, as well as so much of the black experience, is "an illustration of how we create soul food - taking leftovers and making something good. The Central Jurisdiction was a representation of that." Caldwell was 5 years old when the Central Jurisdiction was created in 1939. He said he has fond memories of traveling and receiving his education and a seminary degree. He also calls the jurisdiction a compromise of the church's ideals, and he praises the perseverance of a people who made the most of the decision - made the most out of nothing. Caldwell is retired and lives in Denver. - UMNS photo by Mike DuBose | Length: 7:46 | Recording Date: 8/28/2004 | Recorded at: College Park, Georgia | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: College Park, Georgia | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: United Methodist Communications | Rights: Copyright is held by United Methodist Communications.

Description: The Rev. Dr. Jerome King Del Pino talks about his personal experience growing up with five brothers and sisters in a parsonage in the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church.

Del Pino is an elder in the New England Conference and has served as an adjunct faculty member at many colleges and universities and has been a pastor, district superintendent, and general secretary of the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry.

Speaker(s): W. Astor Kirk |
Description: Dr. W. Astor Kirk (1922-2011) talks about his personal experience in the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church, and his civil rights activities in society and in the church. This recording is from a series of interviews conducted by Pamela Crosby at a 2004 reunion of persons who were part of the Central Jurisdiction. As a civil rights activist, Kirk worked to desegregate colleges and universities in Texas. He also served in the 1960s on a five-member committee that worked to dissolve the Central Jurisdiction. Kirk believed the Central Jurisdiction should die with dignity and that the church should move forward in a way that would promote inclusiveness. He recently completed a book about the desegregation of the Methodist Church titled, "Desegregation of the Methodist Church Polity: Reform Movements that Ended Racial Segregation." - UMNS photo by Mike DuBose. | Length: 5:36 | Recording Date: 8/28/2004 | Recorded at: College Park, Georgia | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: College Park, Georgia | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: United Methodist Communications | Rights: Copyright is held by United Methodist Communications.

Speaker(s): Joseph Lowery |
Description: | The Rev. Joseph E. Lowery (1921-2020) talks about his personal experience in the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church, and his civil rights work. This recording is from a series of interviews conducted by Pamela Crosby at a 2004 reunion of persons who were part of the Central Jurisdiction. Lowery, a preacher and civil rights advocate, said the Central Jurisdiction was mysterious and had its own mystique. The Central Jurisdiction was a "micro-microcosm" of life in the United States, where minorities have lived in a system dominated by a white majority. The Central Jurisdiction era represented a journey for black Methodists to achieve dignity and justice in a white-controlled institution. Lowery was a founder and chief executive officer of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He retired from active United Methodist ministry in 1997 and from the SCLC in 1998 but still remains active. He works to encourage African Americans to vote, and recently recorded a rap with artist NATE the Great to help spread this message.

Speaker(s): Mai Gray |
Description: Mai Gray (1922-2010) talks about her personal experience in the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church and its relationship to Black History in the U.S. This recording is from a series of interviews conducted by Pamela Crosby at a 2004 reunion of persons who were part of the Central Jurisdiction. A retired educator, Gray was actively involved in church and community activities in Kansas City, Missouri. Her experience in the Central Jurisdiction began when her husband, the Rev. C. Jarrett Gray, started leading churches in Arkansas and Missouri. At the time, she saw the Central Jurisdiction as a hindrance or handicap. Now, she believes it was a place where God was calling both the black and white Methodist constituencies to see what was being done to people. The years of the Central Jurisdiction were a time of growth and understanding. "If not for the jurisdiction, many African Americans would not have had opportunities for real leadership (where they) were able to hone their skills." - UMNS photo by Mike DuBose | Length: 5:02 | Recording Date: 8/28/2004 | Recorded at: College Park, Georgia | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: College Park, Georgia | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: United Methodist Communications | Rights: Copyright is held by United Methodist Communications.

Ferree served nearly 20 years as a pastor in the North Carolina-Virginia Conference of the Central Jurisdiction and has served on a number of United Methodist boards and agencies. The Central Jurisdiction era was a good experience, he says, because "we learned to share and support each other in a meaningful way and learned to stand for what was right and just." - UMNS photo by Mike DuBose. | Length: 4:25 | Recording Date: 8/27/2004 | Recorded at: College Park, Georgia | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: College Park, Georgia | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: United Methodist Communications | Rights: Copyright is held by United Methodist Communications.

This recording is from a series of interviews conducted by Pamela Crosby at a 2004 reunion of persons who were part of the Central Jurisdiction. Kelly was the first African-American woman elected to the episcopacy in the United Methodist Church. She finds meaning in the Central Jurisdiction by recalling it as a time when her family's home in Cincinnati hosted many Methodist leaders of historic significance. In the Central Jurisdiction, blacks received training and skills in church leadership that they would not have received anywhere else in society, she says. - UMNS photo by Mike DuBose | Length: 9:42 | Recording Date: 8/28/2004 | Recorded at: College Park, Georgia | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: College Park, Georgia | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: United Methodist Communications | Rights: Copyright is held by United Methodist Communications.

This recording is from a series of interviews conducted by Pamela Crosby at a 2004 reunion of persons who were part of the Central Jurisdiction. McKelvey was the president-dean of Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta. He remembers that the Central Jurisdiction's leaders were determined to be exemplary Methodists in serving their congregations as well as the church as a whole. He says the Central Jurisdiction era was a time when the church was sidetracked, taking on the characteristics of the culture rather than dictating what the culture should be. - UMNS photo by Mike DuBose. | Length: 5:43 | Recording Date: 8/28/2004 | Recorded at: College Park, Georgia | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: College Park, Georgia | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: United Methodist Communications | Rights: Copyright is held by United Methodist Communications.

Speaker(s): Rhett Jackson |
Description: Rhett Jackson (lay person, South Carolina Conference) talks about his personal experience in the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist Church, and his involvement in making the merger happen in his conference from 1966-1970. This recording is from a series of interviews conducted by Pamela Crosby at a 2004 reunion of persons who were part of the Central Jurisdiction. Before the dismantling of the Central Jurisdiction, the South Carolina Annual Conference had an African-American bishop and a white bishop. Both appointed merger committees in 1966, two years before the dissolution of the jurisdiction. A layperson from Columbia, S.C., Jackson led the committee for the white conference. After the two committees were formed, the black and white committees merged into one. Jackson recalls working with the former chairperson of the black committee to make the constituencies aware of what was occurring. He says he then realized how deep and apparent racism was in the state and was surprised at the racism of the white clergy. Merger in South Carolina took six years. Jackson says the state's merger had the best plan in the Southeast. - UMNS photo by Mike DuBose. | Length: 2:46 | Recording Date: 8/28/2004 | Recorded at: College Park, Georgia | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: College Park, Georgia | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: United Methodist Communications | Rights: Copyright is held by United Methodist Communications.

Speaker(s): Krister Stendahl, scripture readers |
Description: This service was on the 90th anniversary of the Massachusetts Council of Churches. The scriptures are: Isaiah 6:1-8, Psalm 133, and 1 Corinthians 13.

He is credited with creating Stendahl's three rules of religious understanding, which he presented in a 1985 press conference in Stockholm, Sweden. They are: (1) When you are trying to understand another religion, you should ask the adherents of that religion and not its enemies. (2) Don't compare your best to their worst. (3) Leave room for "holy envy." (You should be willing to find elements in the other religious tradition and faith that you admire and wish could, in some way, be reflected in your own religious tradition or faith.)

| The Christian Black Betrayal |
Speaker(s): James Baldwin, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | James Arthur Baldwin (1924-1987) was an African American novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic. One week before this program, he spoke to the World Council Of Churches in Uppsala, Sweden, telling them the Christian Church had betrayed the Black man by identifying with racist institutions in society, and has lost touch with Christian principles. He asked them whether "there is left in Christian civilization the moral energy, the spiritual daring, to atone, to repent, to be born again". Here, he continues to challenge the Christian church, which he feels has broken with Christ. Callers ask if God leaves Black people in misery, why Catholics need to be lumped in with Protestants, who can help Whites and Blacks to live together, isn't there just one human race, is the term "Christian" being misused, and what Black people can believe in and depend on. Baldwin says the choice is to live with a bad reality, or for America to address the issue. | Length: 58:49 | Recording Date: July 16, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Excellent / Clear | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| The Pope's Encyclical Against Artificial Birth Control |
Speaker(s): Bernard Haring, Del Shields (host) |
Description: On July 25, 1968, Pope Paul VI issued an encyclical titled "Humanae Vitae", Latin for "Of Human Life." Mainly because of its prohibition of all forms of "artificial" birth control, the encyclical was politically controversial and many American Catholic theologians disagreed with the encyclical. One of the objectors was this program's guest, Father Bernard Haring (1912-1988). Haring was a leader in moving Catholic moral theology to a more personalist and scripture-based approach. Callers want to know what the church will do about couples using birth control, what biblical support there is for large families, how to justify the pressure of a large family puts on the parents, and what allows theologians to disagree with biblical teaching. Haring says Catholics must pay attention to the encyclical, but if they determine they must use contraception, they may follow their own conscience and don't need to confess their practice. Haring also agrees with a caller that the rhythm method is also a form of contraception. | Length: 58:47 | Recording Date: August 12, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: Roman Catholic | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Can Laws Prevent Gun Deaths? |
Speaker(s): Harold Glassen, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Harold W. Glassen was president of the National Rifle Association. Congress was considering legislation to regulate gun ownership or registration. Glassen said gun registration never saved any life, but it is costly, and he opposed any registration. He spoke about bills currently being considered, and said the NRA has been supportive of many bills, including ones that punish misuse of firearms.
Shields and Glassen disagree on many numbers and statistics. Glassen says the NRA spends absolutely no money on lobbying.
Callers wanted to know about state gun registration, how to help influence gun legislation, if it is easy to get guns in Europe, why a strong gun law wouldn't reduce gun deaths in the U.S., who would administer new regulations, whether gun registration would make it easier for a dictator to take over the country, and who could determine if someone should be qualified to own a gun.

Speaker(s): Azza Karam, Marin Achtelstetter, Rudelmar Bueno de Faria, Dean Pallant |
Description: A panel discussion at the Religion Communicators Council convention. Moderator Dr. Azza Karam, coordinator of the UN inter-agency task force on religion and development, opened the session by asking: "What's faith got to do with it?"

Colonel (Dr.) Dean Pallant, director of the Salvation Army's International Social Justice Commission; and Rudelmar Bueno de Faria, World Council of Churches representative to the U.N. and coordinator of the U.N. ecumenical office in New York.

Description: Alfred M. Lilienthal (1915-2008) was an American Jew and a prominent critic of Zionism and the state of Israel. He had served in the U.S. Army in the Middle East (1943-1945).

Speaker(s): Don McGannon, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | This program originated from Miami, Florida, where host Del Shields was attending a convention of the National Association of Television and Radio Announcers, of which Shields was Executive Secretary. The guest, Don McGannon (1920-1984), was President and CEO of Group W Broadcasting (Westinghouse). Often called an iconoclast, McGannon used his prominence in broadcasting to influence the regulations, standards, and practices of broadcasting. He was a vocal advocate of social responsibility in broadcasting and worked to educate the public through television. The focus of this program is minority, particularly African-American, employment in the broadcasting industry. McGannon was working to bring more minority hiring into broadcasting, especially into television news. Two callers indicated they were "for" Black people but felt Black people were too lazy for uneducated for broadcasting jobs. At least one caller pointed out the condescending nature of those views. Other callers felt change in hiring would require education for both Back and White minds. McGannon felt more Black broadcaster will educate White viewers by showing them high-quality Black broadcasters. | Length: 58:28 | Recording Date: August 15, 1968 | Recorded at: WAME Radio Studio, Miami, Florida | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WAME Radio Studio, Miami, Florida | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Starvation in Biafra |
Speaker(s): Finian Kilbride, Anna Kosoff (guest host) |
Description: Father Finian Kilbride was an Irish missionary. In 1968, he has spent 13 years in rebel-held sections of Nigeria. In July, the 41-year-old missionary had proposed a plan to distribute food to millions of starving Biafrans. The plan was supported by U. S. President Lyndon Johnson, UN Secretary-General U Thant, and Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke. Biafra, officially the Republic of Biafra, was a secessionist state in eastern Nigeria that existed from the 30th of May, 1967, to January 1970. At the time, all efforts to get food to the starving was prevented by the military stances of both Biafra and Nigeria. An airlift did began, largely a joint effort of Protestant and Catholic church groups, with other non-governmental organizations, operating civilian and military aircraft with volunteer (mostly) civilian crews and support personnel. Several national governments also supported the effort, mostly behind the scenes. This sustained joint effort, which lasted one and a half times as long as its Berlin predecessor, is estimated to have saved more than a million lives. Anna Kosoff filled-in as host for this program, as Del Shields was returning from a convention in Miami and did not arrive back in New York in time for the program. | Length: 58:04 | Recording Date: August 16, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

The series was intended to help Black students understand their history, and to help White students to be more educated and open-minded. Callers wanted advice on how to understand Black history better, referenced other documents on Black history, asked why most of African-American history has been left out of American history textbooks, and whether public schools would start to teach Black history in America. Katz is an American educator, historian, and author of many books on African-American history, including a number of titles for young adult readers. He is particularly noted for his extensive writings on the 500-year history of relations between African Americans and Native Americans in the New World. | Length: 58:57 | Recording Date: August 22, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

One week after the takeover, and back home in the U.S., she spoke with Night Call about the experience of the Czech people when the troops took control of their country. Hrubie noted that American magazines are not generally available in Czechoslovakia, but American rock music was popular there, many people had traveled in Europe, and freedom of the press had been established just that Spring. The invasion successfully stopped Alexander Dubcek's Prague Spring liberalisation reforms and strengthened the authority of the authoritarian wing within the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. The foreign policy of the Soviet Union during this era was known as the Brezhnev Doctrine. The Soviets were not happy with the Western trends. Note: The program host, Del Shields, was on vacation.

The program tried, but could not access any municipal or federal funds. He had several dozen volunteers working as advisers to drug users, helping them to kick their habits, find a job, and deal with issues. Dunmeyer sees sees several differences between White addicts and Black addicts. He says Black users have few hospitals for treatment, often have to steal money to buy drugs, and end up buying heroin, an unreliable junk drug. By comparison, he says, White addicts often buy psychedelic or prescription drugs and have many treatment options. The discussion focused on Black addicts, but often covered general drug addition issues. | Length: 59:09 | Recording Date: October 16, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Who Will Win Tomorrow? |
Speaker(s): Louis Bean, Del Shields (host) |
Description: On this, the day before the 1968 presidential election, the polls were very close between Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey. The guest, Louis H. Bean (1896-1994) predicts a possible Humphrey win, despite the Harris and Gallup polls calling for a Nixon victory. The prediction is based on a two-party model, and assumes the George Wallace vote doesn't swing the percentages to Nixon.

| Your Questions on Election Night 1968 |
Speaker(s): Mac Kilduff, Dick Wiley, Mike Gill, Miles Hughey, Clifford Alexander, Del Shields (host) |
Description: As this program begins (at 11:30pm ET on election night 1968) the decision between Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey is still too close to call. The results for George Wallace are poor. Del Shields hosts the program from Humphrey Headquarters at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The guests are: Malcolm (Mac) Kilduff , a journalist who became part of the Humphrey campaign and in 1963 was the person who announced the death of President Kennedy; Richard E. (Dick) Wiley of United Citizens for Nixon/Agnew, and later head of the FCC; Michael (Mike) Gill, a businessman and part of the Nixon Campaign (his houseboat was docked near the Doral Hotel in Miami Beach and served as an unofficial gathering place for many of Richard M. Nixon's supporters); Miles Hughey; and Clifford Alexander, special assistant to President Johnson. Discussion focused on the value and accuracy of polls, the value of televised debates, the amount of money spent on campaigns, youth involved in the campaigns, use of a computerized system to evaluate public views, rules of the Electoral College, the possibility of a split between the Electoral Collage and the popular vote, and views on stopping the war in Vietnam. As the program ended, the election had still not been decided. It eventually went to Richard Nixon. | Length: 59:03 | Recording Date: November 5, 1968 | Recorded at: Humphrey Election Headquarters (Mayflower Hotel) Washington, DC | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: Humphrey Election Headquarters (Mayflower Hotel) Washington, DC | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| The Constitutional Crisis We Didn't Have This Time |
Speaker(s): Arthur Blaustein, Del Shields (host) |
Description: In the presidential election of 1968, if votes had gone a little differently, Spiro Agnew might have been named Acting President of the United States. The subject is the Electoral College and the constitutional crisis that could have been initiated by the 1968 election. The guest is constitutional expert Arthur Blaustein and the focus is on the Electoral College (note the people) that votes in the president of the United States. Electors in that system are not required to vote the way the voters of their state did. A second concern is that the popular vote could go one way, and the Electoral College another ... as has happened twice since: in 2000, when Al Gore won the popular vote, and in 2016, when Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Blaustein would like to see the system changed. Arthur Blaustein has held a number of government posts, has taught in universities, and has written extensively for magazines and newspaper syndications, including Harper's, Saturday Review, The Nation, Mother Jones, The Los Angeles Times and Knight-Ridder, as well as for academic and professional journals. | Length: 59:07 | Recording Date: November 7, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

Speaker(s): Theressa Hoover, Del Shields (host) |
Description: Theressa Hoover (1925-2013) was head of staff of the Women's Division of the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church in New York City. This discussion focuses on the roles of women in American society. Hoover says a woman's place is where she can find personal fulfillment, and make a contribution to society. She says, in American society, the pendulum was swinging away from male supremacy and toward gender equality. Callers brought up issues regarding young boys getting into more trouble when their mothers are out of the home, of women's rights degrading chivalry, how women can work for racial equality, and whether women can handle home, work, and community. Other issues include lesser pay for women, and military service for women. In her career, Hoover worked in all fifty states, as well as Pakistan and India. She wrote "Black Women and the Churches: Triple Jeopardy," and "With Unveiled Face: Centennial Reflections on Women and Men in the Community of the Church," as well as regular columns in Response magazine. These publications, and most of Hoover's speeches, focused on power and equality for women and for people of color in the church and in society. | Length: 59:40 | Recording Date: November 8, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| What the Soviet Union Thinks About the U.S. Election |
Speaker(s): Spartak Beglov, Del Shields (host) |
Description: The guest, Spartak Beglov (1925-2006) was a political commentator at the Russian news service, Novosti Press Agency. He was head of the Novosti corps of journalists, and also taught journalism at Moscow State University. He had been twice wounded as an Russian Army infantryman in WWII. In the U.S., Richard Nixon had just been elected president. Beglov says the Soviets did not have a preference for Nixon or for his opponent, Hubert Humphrey, but would wait and see what new policies might come from the new administration. Beglov agreed the 1968 election was very close in the vote count, but said the Russian people had followed the election closely and were not surprised at the closeness or the result. He said the Russian people had taken interest in Eugene McCarthy's talk in New Hampshire during the campaign, and had started to focus on whether the winner of the election would take a new approach to Russia. He said the Russians also wanted to see the U.S. take a more objective and fair approach to issues in the Mideast, and less patronizing of Israel. One caller wanted to know whether the status of Jews in the Soviet Union could be improved. Beglov said there is separation of church and state in the U.S.S.R. and that Jews are free to have their own culture. One caller asked whether the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. might develop cooperation in space exploration; Beglov wanted to wait-and-see on this as well. Beglov wrote a number of books, still available, on international relations and on Soviet programs. Note: The phone line from Moscow is surprisingly good for 1968, but his accent makes listening a little difficult. | Length: 1:03:23 | Recording Date: November 11, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Joy: Expanding Human Awareness |
Speaker(s): William Schutz, Del Shields (host) |
Description: This program focuses on honesty in human relationships. Dr. William Schutz (1925-2002) was a psychologist and a leading proponent of The Human Potential Movement at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. He had recently published the book, "Joy: Expanding Human Awareness" - a guided tour through his collection of open-encounter methods and techniques. He had moved from more standard academic endeavors to integrating humanistic psychology. Over his career, he taught at Tufts University, Harvard University, University of California, Berkeley, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was chairman of the holistic studies department at Antioch University until 1983. The Human Potential Movement (HPM) took as its premise the belief that through the development of "human potential", humans can experience an exceptional quality of life filled with happiness, creativity, and fulfillment.

| Has CORE Gone "Tom"? |
Speaker(s): Roy Innis, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | The guest, Roy Emile Alfredo Innis (born 1934,) is an American activist, and politician. He became National Chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in 1968, shortly before this program, and was still in that position in 2016. Founded in 1942, the stated mission of CORE is "to bring about equality for all people regardless of race, creed, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnic background." The focus of Innis in this program is to use reform, not revolt, to create a society in which there is "separation" of the races, not "segregation" of the races. In this Black Nationalist system, Black Americans would be in control of all services in their communities. This program was originally recorded on an audio cassette, then transferred to reel-to-reel, and thus is of poorer audio quality. | Length: 61:59 | Recording Date: September 10, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Fair / Some Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| The Draft is a Bloody Mess |
Speaker(s): Daniel Berrigan, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Father Daniel Berrigan (1921-2016) was a Jesuit priest, an activist against the Vietnam War, and poet. At the time of this program, he was the assistant director of the Cornell University United Religious Work, the umbrella organization for all religious groups on campus.

Berrigan was arrested and, in a trial following this program, was sentenced to three years in prison. He was released in 1972. Discussions in this program dealt with Berrigan's concern over the draft and the war, and whether it is right to act illegally to oppose the draft. Berrigan also spoke of his visit to Hanoi, in North Vietnam. Because of phone line problems, Berrigan wasn't on the line for the first 11 minutes and the volume of his phone line remained low. | Length: 57:23 | Recording Date: October 2, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Fair / Some Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: Roman Catholic | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Sex and Society |
Speaker(s): Mary Calderone, Del Shields (host) |
Description: Dr. Mary Calderone (1904-1998) was a physician and a public health advocate for sexual education. Calderone was president and co-founder of the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States from 1954 to 1982. She had also served as the medical director for Planned Parenthood. Calderone's insistence that sex education should begin as early as kindergarten did not impress religious conservative groups. A bestselling 1968 pamphlet: "Is the School House the Proper Place to Teach Raw Sex?" targeted her organization, SIECUS, calling Calderone the "SIECUS Sexpot" and claiming that she wanted to undermine Christian morality and corrupt children. This program reflects her efforts to promote sex education and public concerns over sexual promiscuity. Callers also brought up myths about racial differences in sex, and worries about increasing sexuality in films. | Length: 59:10 | Recording Date: October 3, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Fair / Some Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Can Hollywood Tell It Like It Is? |
Speaker(s): Jules Dassin, Julian Mayfield, Del Shields (host) |
Description: The guest, Julius "Jules" Dassin (1911-1908) was an American film director, producer, writer, and actor. He had just produced the film, "Uptight", and was on the phone from Paris. Dassin was a subject of the Hollywood blacklist in the McCarthy era, and subsequently moved to France, where he revived his career. This film, (also known as Up Tight!) was intended as an updated version of John Ford's 1935 film, "The Informer", but the setting was transposed from Dublin, Ireland to Cleveland, Ohio. The soundtrack was performed by Booker T. & the MG's. The film opens with documentary footage of the funeral procession of Martin Luther King, Jr., which is used as a backdrop for the film's fictional narrative of Black militants building up an arsenal of weapons in preparation for a race war, but being betrayed by one of their own. The screenplay was by Jules Dassin, Ruby Dee, and Julian Mayfield. The cast included Ruby Dee and Roscoe Lee Browne. The focus of the first half of this radio interview is whether films can accurately portray or represent reality. The focus of the second half is the story of "Uptight." - its development and its evaluation of non-violent versus violent protest. The audio quality on the phone lines is fair. The original recording also had shifts in speed and audio level, which have been adjusted as well as possible. | Length: 55:18 | Recording Date: October 18, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Fair / Some Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| The Revolt of the Public Servant |
Speaker(s): James Lawson, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | At the time of this program, Rev. James M. Lawson, Jr. (1928-2024) was best known as leader of the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers strike. The discussion begins with the question of whether public workers should be allowed to strike, and what factors should be recognized, and maybe ignored. It was Lawson who invited Rev. Martin Luther King to speak in Memphis in April 1968, where he was shot and killed the morning after the "mountaintop speech." Lawson is a United Methodist pastor, an American activist, and a university professor. He was a leading theoretician and tactician of nonviolence in the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, he was a mentor to the Nashville Student Movement and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and was expelled from Vanderbilt University for his Civil Rights activism in 1960. Lawson later served as a pastor in Los Angeles, California, for 25 years. He continued to work for Civil Rights and he received received the Community of Christ International Peace Award in 2004. | Length: 58:27 | Recording Date: January 9, 1969 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Excellent / Clear | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Hunger and Malnutrition in America |
Speaker(s): Robert Choate, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Robert B. Choate, Jr. (1924-2009) said there were about 10 million Americans, who because of poverty, were underfed (under-nourished), or badly-fed (malnourished). In addition, he says, some were dying from these conditions. He said America produces plenty of food to provide for all our people, and also to help other nations in times of famine. He claimed we did a fair job of feeding 95% of our population, but we needed to address feeding the other 5%. He said only 6 million of the 21 million poor citizens were allowed onto a food program. He called for both private industry and the government to be involved in addressing hunger in America. Choate had moved to Washington DC in 1966 to work for The National Institute for Public Affairs, and The Citizens Crusade Against Poverty, both funded by the Ford Foundation. An engineer, and the son of the publisher of The Boston Globe, Choate used his wealth to battle what he saw as the greatest social ills afflicting America: poverty, hunger, and a lack of civil and political rights for African Americans and other minority groups. From his obituary: "Robert B. Choate Jr., gave up an engineering career to devote himself to fighting against poverty and malnutrition, seizing national attention in 1970 by telling a Senate subcommittee that most breakfast cereals barely qualify to be called food ... Choate, superficially a tweedy, bow-tied Boston Brahmin, decided in midlife that he wanted to rankle feathers. An early step was publishing a magazine in Phoenix, where he moved in the late 1950s, that deliberately irritated the city's conservative establishment. Soon he was at the center of a roiling national discussion of how to best use America's agricultural bounty to nourish its people." | Length: 58:15 | Recording Date: November 12, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| The Migrant Farm Workers and the National Table Grape Strike |
Speaker(s): Cesar Chavez, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) was an American labor leader and civil rights activist who, with Dolores Huerta, co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (later the United Farm Workers union, UFW) in 1962. The Delano Grape Strike began on September 8, 1965 when workers in Delano, California walked off the farms of area table-grape growers, demanding wages equal to the federal minimum wage. The strike lasted more than five years. In organizing the strike, Chavez insisted the Latino and Filipino strikers work together, sharing the same picket-lines, strike kitchens, and union hall. He also asked strikers take a solemn vow to remain nonviolent. He also led a 300-mile march from Delano to Sacramento, California. The march placed the farm workers' plight squarely before the conscience of the American people. At the time of this program, the strike had been on for three years. Some young farm-workers wanted to turn to violence, so in February 1968, Chavez fasted to rededicate the movement to nonviolence. He went without food for 25 days, only drinking water. It was an act of penitence for those who advocated violence and a way of taking responsibility as leader of his movement. Due largely to the consumer boycott of non-union grapes, the strike ended with a significant victory for the United Farm Workers as well as its first contract with the growers. Some callers were supportive of the farm workers and the strike. Other accuse Chavez of falsifying the number of workers involved, of being part of a Communist movement, and of a supposed shadyness of having a connection to Saul Alinsky. | Length: 58:06 | Recording Date: November 13, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Board of Church and Society.

| The Draft: How Does it Work Today, and Should it Be Changed? |
Speaker(s): Louis Hershey, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Lieutenant General Louis B. Hershey (1893-1977) was a public school teacher who also served in the Indiana National Guard, In 1920, he changed careers when he joined the U.S. Army, eventually rising to the rank of General. Hershey was one of only three generals in the history of the U.S. Army to have served as a general during three major conflicts. In 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt promoted him to brigadier general and named him executive officer of the Selective Service System. The next year, Roosevelt named him director of the Selective Service and he remained in that position until 1970. Hershey said there were a few thousand draft resisters in the country - not a large percentage, but they get plenty of public notice. He called those who burned their draft cards as misguided. He stated that, instead of Selective Service, he would like to have universal military training for all young men, but he said Congress would never agree to that. People wanted to know about the deferments for teachers and graduate students, and how to extend a deferment in college if you don't complete the program in four years. Hershey told a caller that he had testified before Congress hundreds of times, but they don't often do what he suggests. A draft counselor wanted to know why young men don't know much about the rules and regulations of the draft. Hershey explained that college students can be deferred until the age of 24, and no one would be taken after the age of 28. At the time, the country was looking at the possibility of creating a lottery system, but the law did not allow it. A draft lottery was instituted a year later, in December 1969. | Length: 59:12 | Recording Date: November 14, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| The Homosexual Problem |
Speaker(s): Charles Socarides, Bill Richards (host) |
Description: Charles W. Socarides (1922-2005) was an American psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, physician, educator, and author. He focused much of his career on the study of homosexuality, which he believed was an illness accompanied by severe anxiety and depression, and he thought it could be treated by psychotherapy. Socarides speaks of "overt, obligatory homosexuality" which he said affected 2.5 to 4 million American men, and probably a similar number of American women. He said male homosexuality typically develops in the first 18-36 months of life, during the "separation / individualization phase" - caused by a controlling mother who prevents her son from separating from her, and a weak or rejecting father who fails to serve as a role model for his son or to support his efforts to escape from the mother. In response to caller questions, he said homosexuals are a persecuted minority, suffering an illness and having no choice. He said he had cured homosexuals, but that homosexuals need to be treated only if they are unhappy with their condition; if they are happy, they have no need for treatment. A caller asked about two male poets in New York City having a sexual relationship. Socarides said there is nothing wrong with that -- it is a way for them to deal with their anxieties and it seems to be successful. He didn't believe in gay marriage, but thought legal prohibitions to gay couples should be removed. Asked about concerns over a roommate situation, on gay and one straight, Socarides said there was little chance the gay roommate would try to assert his preferences on the straight roommate. One of Socarides's sons, Richard, is gay, was a policy consultant on LGBT issues for President Bill Clinton, and has been a commentator on CNN and a columnist at the New Yorker. He says his father never tried to cure him. | Length: 59:09 | Recording Date: May 16, 1969 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Homosexuals and the Law |
Speaker(s): An Anonymous Lawyer, Del Shields (host) |
Description: This programs guest, referred to as "Mr. Guest," was a lawyer representing gay clients in New York City. He remained anonymous by choice. He was represented The Mattachine Society, founded in 1950, one of the earliest homophile (gay rights) organizations in the United States. In response to callers, he said most homosexual men are not effeminate, and said homosexuals were becoming more accepted in society in New York City. He also said there are many well-adjusted homosexuals in stable relationships. A caller says she thinks homosexuals should not serve in the government. Another caller wants to know how gay bars are allowed to exist; Mr Guest says they operate by the same rules as other bars. Asked why he thinks homosexuality is on the increase, he thought it might be because of the number of men in military service and in prisons. One caller wants homosexuals to be "corrected." Mr. Guest said a physician should help a gay person become better adjusted with his/her reality in society. A woman asks what to do if she thinks her boyfriend is gay. Mr. Guest suggests she should find a heterosexual to marry if her current boyfriend is, indeed, gay - and that she should ask him. | Length: 59:11 | Recording Date: November 20, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| The Problems of a Black Filmmaker |
Speaker(s): Melvin Van Peebles, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Melvin Van Peebles (1932-2021) was an American actor, director, screenwriter, playwright, novelist, and composer. He was the first Black American to direct a feature film: "The Story of a Three-Day Pass." He had just released the film, which he produced in France. He said, as a Black filmmaker, he could not have produced it in the U.S. He appreciated the inroads of Black actors in Hollywood, slow as it was, but said Hollywood was starting to recognize the value of Black actors and directors. He said he wouldn't direct a film about a Black lead character without having the right to approve the final cut -- a more common practice in Europe. He feels Hollywood filmmakers need to use their influence to produce more films that respect Black actors and issues. He insists that much of the way films are produced are decided by White people of influence in the field, and that needs to change. | Length: 59:10 | Recording Date: November 15, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| What Sort of Law to Maintain What Sort of Order? |
Speaker(s): Tom Hayden, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Thomas Emmet Hayden (1939-2016) was an American social and political activist, author, and politician. At the time of this interview, he was co-founder of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). He was later director of the Peace and Justice Resource Center in Los Angeles County, California. He is known as an anti-war, civil rights, and radical intellectual counterculture activist -- and as former husband of actress Jane Fonda. He led some of the big demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic Convention in 1968. Subjects of this program include the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) on campus, the Selective Service draft system, grounds for being a conscientious objector, ways in which the country decides to go to war, and the Columbia University student strike. Hayden says student activists have to resort to public demonstrations in order for people to hear their concerns and issues. He says universities are involved in education students to be part of the system, while the schools are involved in developing war-related technology. His thought on Law and Order is that it is not good if it is simply code language for preventing social change. Hayden served in the California Senate from 1992-2000. | Length: 59:10 | Recording Date: November 18, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Why Criminals Behave the Way They Do |
Speaker(s): James Brussel, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Dr. James A. Brussel (1905-1982) was a psychiatrist, criminologist, and assistant commissioner in the State Department of Mental Hygiene for New York City. He was involved in the cases of George Metesky, the ''Mad Bomber,'' and Albert H. DeSalvo, the ''Boston Strangler.'' He interviewed the suspects and testified at their trials. In these cases, he engaged in offender or criminal profiling. Offender profiling dates back to 1888 and the spree of Jack the Ripper, and efforts continue to improve the practice. One caller talks about his conviction and time in prison for crimes he did not commit. A woman wants to know what to do with misbehaving children. A man wants to know whether criminality is the result of nature or nurture; Brussel had no definitive answer. Brussel has sometimes been called "the Sherlock Holmes of the couch." He also wrote eight books, including "Casebook of a Crime Psychiatrist." Brussel graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and its medical school, maintained a private practice in Manhattan for nearly 50 years, and served in the Army Medical Corps in World War II and the Korean War. | Length: 59:11 | Recording Date: November 19, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Does Educational Broadcasting Have Soul? |
Speaker(s): Greg Morris, Del Shields (host) |
Description: This program originated at the convention of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters, held in at the Park Sheraton Hotel in Washington, DC. It was held before a live audience at the convention. At the time of this recording, Greg Morris (1933-1966) played the part of electronics expert Barney Collier on the TV show, "Mission: Impossible." He says he appeared on dozens of other TV shows before he got that part. Questions include whether sponsorship has a detrimental effect on a show, whether Black actors are just being noticed and cast on shows, and what television (both educational and entertainment) could do to show all races of Americans as normal parts of society. Morris says television needs to produce and air a series on African-American history. (The historic TV mini-series "Roots" appeared nine years after this program.) Morris also says actors must portray characters as they are written, and not as the actor would like that character to appear. | Length: 59:08 | Recording Date: November 21, 1968 | Recorded at: Park Sheraton Hotel, Washington DC | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: Park Sheraton Hotel, Washington DC | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Can Television News Tell It Like It Is? |
Speaker(s): Bob Teague, Del Shields (host) |
Description: Bob Teague ( 1929-2013) was one of New York City's first Black television journalists when he started at WNBC-TV in 1963. He went on to work as a reporter, anchorman, and producer for more than three decades, retiring from WNBC-TV in 1991. At the time of this program, Teague had just written a book titled "Letters to a Black Boy" - advice intended for his son to read when he turned 13 years old. Earlier, Teague was a standout football player at the University of Wisconsin, winning all-Big 10 honors. He became a journalism major in college and soon started writing for The Milwaukee Journal. In 1952, he joined the Army. In 1956, he moved back to New York and worked as a radio news writer for CBS. In this interview, Teague was opposed to quota systems for minorities, but wanted an "open society" in which everyone can achieve according to their abilities. He felt broadcasting was making an effort to hire minorities in significant roles. He said the federal government needed to make a committed effort to eliminate racism, and the TV should not be left to take the lead. He thought TV had the advantage of creating a familiarity between a broadcaster and viewers that bridges racial differences. Although this programs focuses on the hiring of qualified Black men, women are not mentioned. | Length: 59:11 | Recording Date: November 22, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Apartheid in South Africa: A Revolution Waiting to Happen |
Speaker(s): Winston Nagan, Del Shields (host) |
Description: Winston Nagan (1940- ) was just 28 years old and teaching at Virginia Polytechnic Institute at the time of this program. He appeared on Night Call to talk about the Apartheid system then in effect in South Africa. Nagan was born in South Africa and educated at the University of Fort Hare. At that time, the Apartheid authorities were constructing the foundations of a police state. Nagan had been a student leader challenging apartheid authoritarianism and organizing legal defenses for political prisoners. He left South Africa for exile in 1964 and continued his legal studies at Oxford University, receiving a B.A. and an M.A. He earned his LL.M. and M.C.L. at Duke University and his J.S.D. at Yale. Callers compared the U.S. to South Africa and asked whether the unrest in the U.S. might also be seen in South Africa. Nagan said there were many White students in South Africa who were liberal, pluralistic, and opposed Apartheid, but didn't tend to be revolutionary. He said there were also several organizations in the country that were actively opposed to racism, but no political party opposed the current system. Nagan said there was also some effort by other African nations to encourage more equality in South Africa. Nagan is now well-known for his work in international law and human rights. He served as acting justice on the High Court of the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa in 2006. The Apartheid system in South Africa was dismantled in the early 1990's. | Length: 57:55 | Recording Date: November 25, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| The W.A.S.P. in Trouble |
Speaker(s): Julius Horwitz, Del Shields (host) |
Description: Julius Horwitz (1920-1986) was a social critic and a reporter on the life of African-American ghettos, drug culture, and existence. He had just written the novel, "The W.A.S.P." WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) is an informal, disparaging term for high-status and influential White Americans of British Protestant ancestry with disproportionate financial, political, and social power in the United States. Shields wondered if there were any other White Americans who understand the life of Black Americans as well as Horwitz, who felt that some do. But Horwitz said America, as a society, still had not crossed the line of admitting the humanity of African-Americans. A caller suggested education would solve social-racial issues, but Horwitz and Shields felt it would take more than mere education to create equality in society. Horwitz said that Black citizens are Americans like any other citizens and should be able to define themselves in society - and not accept definitions assigned by WASPs. | Length: 59:13 | Recording Date: November 26, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Can the Blacks Get Organized? |
Speaker(s): James Farmer, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | (Note: This program began in the midst of technical difficulties in the studio.) James Leonard Farmer, Jr. (1920-1999) was a civil rights activist and leader in the Civil Rights Movement. In 1942, Farmer co-founded the Committee of Racial Equality in Chicago with George Houser and Bernice Fisher. It was later called the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and was dedicated to ending racial segregation in the United States through nonviolence. Farmer was the initiator and organizer of the 1961 Freedom Ride, which eventually led to the desegregation of inter-state transportation in the United States. By the 1960s, he was known as one of the big four civil rights leaders in the 1960s, together with Martin Luther King, NAACP chief Roy Wilkins, and Urban League head Whitney Young. At the time of this interview, there were more than 1,000 organizations in the U.S. working for racial equality. Farmer wanted better cooperation among groups to work for economic and political power in order to effect social change. He said the Urban League was a very large organization involved in racial equality because it was tax-exempt and was part of the establishment. Farmer wanted to create businesses in which Black citizens could purchase ownership, giving many more people economic stability and power. He also wanted Black children to receive the highest-quality education, whether they attended a Negro school, a White school, or a desegregated school. Farmer says White people are privileged and Black social movements make them nervous, lest they lose their privileges ... he says some Whites feel guilt and fear over this reality. | Length: 56:16 | Recording Date: November 27, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Just What Do We Have To Be Thankful For? |
Speaker(s): Cecil Williams, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | The Rev. A. Cecil Williams (1929-2024) was the pastor emeritus of Glide Memorial United Methodist Church in San Francisco and a community leader and author. On this Thanksgiving evening in 1968, Williams talked about things he and others did - and did not - have to be thankful for. At the time of this program, he was 39 years old and had been pastor of Glide Church for five years. Throughout the program, Thanksgiving was seen through a filter of race. Callers were interested in Williams's idea that he needed to think about himself as a Black man could, not as a White man would - that he could create his own life. He said there was a time he wanted to be called "colored," and at one time "negro," but now preferred "black" and felt empowered by that. Williams felt White people put a priority on property, and Black people put more of a priority on human life. Shields and Williams talk about Glide Church, accepting each person as they are, and working with them to improve their lives. Williams retired in 2000 at the age of 70. Under his leadership, Glide Memorial became a 10,000-member congregation of all races, ages, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religions. It is the largest provider of social services in the city, serving over three thousand meals a day, providing AIDS/HIV screenings, offering adult education programs, and giving assistance to women dealing with homelessness, domestic violence, substance abuse, and mental health issues. | Length: 59:04 | Recording Date: November 28, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Is War Absurd? |
Speaker(s): Joseph Heller, Ed Jones (guest host) |
Description: | Joseph Heller (1923-1999) was an American author of novels, short stories, plays and screenplays. His best-known work is the novel "Catch-22," a satire on war and bureaucracy, whose title has become a synonym for an absurd or contradictory choice. The background for this discussion is the War in Vietnam and the American draft system. Heller said "absurd" is not a strong enough word for war. The program includes discussion of his book "Catch-22" published in 1961, and his play, "We Bombed in New Haven" which was currently running on Broadway, starring Jason Robards. The 1967 play is considered an anti-war black comedy, thematically linked in part to "Catch-22." Heller said he was personally anti-war, but his books and plays were not written to convey those sentiments. He said young men trying to avoid the draft had a tough choice: submit or go to Canada, and they might not be happy in Canada, a bad choice for a young man with no quarrel with the North Vietnamese. Heller had flown 60 missions as a B-25 bombardier in WWII and felt good about that, feeling he had been there for a good reason. But he said he was opposed to wars fought on behalf of national ambition. (The host for this program is Ed Jones, filling in for Del Shields, who was delayed in New York City traffic.) | Length: 59:08 | Recording Date: December 2, 1968 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Will Czechoslovakia Be Allowed to Live Free? |
Speaker(s): Harrison Salisbury, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Harrison Evans Salisbury (1908-1993) was an American journalist and the first regular New York Times correspondent in Moscow after World War II. In 1968, he was assistant managing editor of the New York Times and had written several books about the Soviet Union.

He says each person must be evaluated to determine the best approach. Kline often appeared on radio and TV programs. Callers asked questions from their own experiences and assumptions. Because of his work in the use of drugs to treat mental illnesses, his work has been acknowledged as a major factor in opening a new era in psychiatry: psychopharmacology. In 1952, he started a research unit at Rockland State Hospital, New York (later the Rockland Psychiatric Center). Traditional therapies seemed inadequate to treat the growing number of mentally ill patients. He and his hospital worked with tranquilizers and antidepressants.

In this program, Balk talks about schemes such as the "buy-back" in which a religious group buys a business for no cost. Then the business is owned by the church, pays no taxes, and partially supports the religious group. Balk suggests it might be best to tax church organizations. There are questions about where the money is kept, what is used for, and what if should be used for. Balk says much of the money is used for deluxe facilities for the church. The question is raised whether a bigger and fancier building is a better dedication to God, or if using the money to help people would be better. Balk wrote more than 100 magazine articles and eight books. In 1991, he moved to Syracuse, New York to teach journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

The authors believe nursing homes fall into two categories, either excellent, or sub-standard in very way. They claim there are adequate laws in many states, yet very little enforcement.

| The Police State in Delaware |
Speaker(s): Peter Hughes, Del Shields (host) |
Description: | Four days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., a peaceful march in Wilmington, Delaware transformed into smashing storefronts and looting stores. The government sent in the National Guard, which patrolled the streets of Wilmington for nine months. This interview was held on the first night without the troops. The guest is Peter Hughes, spokesman for the White Coalition for Justice, a White group opposed to the National Guard occupation of the Black area of Wilmington. After six months of occupation, a coalition of clergy in Wilmington also called for the removal of the troops and Governor Terry told them they were preaching revolution. The new governor, Russell Peterson, removed the guard on January 21, 1969, less than an hour after his inauguration. Wilmington also housed the international office of the DuPont Company, and Hughes believed the huge chemical company could have applied pressure to have the guard removed much earlier. | Length: 58:53 | Recording Date: January 21, 1969 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Black Power: An International Concept |
Speaker(s): Irving Davis, Del Shields (host) |
Description: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was one of the major American Civil Rights Movement organizations of the 1960s. It emerged from the first wave of student sit-ins and formed at a May 1960 meeting organized by Ella Baker at Shaw University. It focused on such issues as pacifism, the Civil Rights Movement, anti-racism, participatory democracy, and Black Power. In the later 1960s, inspired by fiery leaders such as Stokely Carmichael, SNCC focused on black power and draft resistance to the Vietnam War. Irving Davis had been the Brooklyn SNCC coordinator and later became Deputy Chair of its International Affairs Committee. His perspective is that racism is a global issue, but that power and wealth is centered in 60 families, all in the United States. He says dashikis and affros have their value, but political power has to be addressed. He also felt any program of the U.S Government that sends people into Africa is more imperialistic than helpful to the people who live there. And he says there is enough wealth in the world to provide food, health care, and education for everyone. He feels wealth should be shared among all people. As frequently happened in the Night Call programs, a caller asked if the guest is a Communist. The Student Nonviolent Organizing Committee went out of existence in 1976. | Length: 59:05 | Recording Date: January 22, 1969 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Revolution for the Hell of It |
Speaker(s): Abbie Hoffman, Del Shields (host) |
Description: Abbie Hoffman (Abbot H. Hoffman) (1936-1989) co-founded the Youth International Party, known as the "Yippies." Del Shields asked him if that party was "for real." He seems to indicate it was a lighthearted and useful way to move into dealing with some very serious issues. In the 1960s, he became an activist supporting Civil Rights and opposing the Vietnam War. In Chicago in 1968, Hoffman was arrested and tried for conspiracy and inciting to riot as a result of his role in anti-Vietnam War protests at the Democratic National Convention. The protesters were met by a violent police riot during that convention. The so-called "Chicago Eight" included Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner, Tom Hayden, and Bobby Seale. Callers ask Hoffman about his thoughts and approaches to society as he would like to see it. One caller takes an aggressive approach to challenge Hoffman. A few months after this broadcast, at the Woodstock music festival, Hoffman interrupted a performance by The Who's to attempt to speak against the jailing of John Sinclair of the White Panther Party. By the time Hoffman died, The FBI reportedly said they kept a file on him that was 13,262 pages long. | Length: 59:03 | Recording Date: January 31, 1969 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Labor Disputes: Does Arbitration Work? |
Speaker(s): Theodore Kheel, Del Shields (host) |
Description: In the late 1960s, workers frequently asserted themselves and their concerns with labor strikes. The question for the guest, Theodore W. Kheel (1914-2010) was the value of arbitration and conflict resolution to solve labor issues. Kheel had worked as an arbitrator and negotiator for about 30 years. He wrote the popular book, "The Keys to Conflict Resolution: Proven Methods of Resolving Disputes Voluntarily." Kheel did not see a need for a change in laws that manage private employment, but he did feel adjustments were needed in the relationships between labor and government. He felt the government should advocate for voluntary, mutually-agreed contracts.

| Spock on The Spock Generation |
Speaker(s): Benjamin Spock, Del Shields (host) |
Description: Dr. Benjamin M. Spock (1903-1998) was an American pediatrician whose book "Baby and Child Care" (1946) is one of the best-selling volumes in history. The book's premise to mothers is that "you know more than you think you do." Spock was the first pediatrician to study psychoanalysis to try to understand children's needs and family dynamics. His ideas about childcare influenced generations of parents to be more flexible and affectionate with their children, and to treat them as individuals. By the time of this program, Spock was an activist in the New Left and anti- Vietnam War movements. His books were criticized for propagating permissiveness and an expectation of instant gratification which allegedly led young people to join these movements. Spock denied his books had that effect. In this program, he says the new generation was less focused on money and more on integrity than earlier generations. He said young people were more concerned with education and health. Callers want to talk mostly about anti-war issues, but some call to push their own, somewhat off-subject, issues. | Length: 59:06 | Recording Date: February 10, 1969 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Interfaith) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

She was a writer and philosopher known for her two best-selling novels, "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged." Rand developed a philosophical system she named Objectivism, which she says she had to develop because other philosophies were not consistent with her own beliefs and fictional writings. In this program, she begins by explaining Objectivism. Rand advocated reason as the only means of acquiring knowledge and rejected faith and religion. She supported rational and ethical egoism and rejected altruism. In politics, she condemned the initiation of force as immoral and opposed collectivism and statism as well as anarchism, instead supporting laissez-faire capitalism, which she defined as the system based on recognizing individual rights, including property rights. She answers the question of whether assassins Sirhan Sirhan, James Earl Ray, and Lee Harvey Oswald acted rationally. The Ayn Rand Institute of Santa Ana, California still teaches Objectivism on-campus and online. | Length: 59:05 | Recording Date: March 12, 1969 | Recorded at: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: WRVR Radio Studio, New York City | Faith Group: (Ecumenical) | Source: United Methodist Archives & History | Rights: Copyright is held by The United Methodist General Commission on Archives & History.

| Trialogue on Death of God Theology |
Speaker(s): Schubert M. Ogden, John W. Deschner, Albert C. Outler, intro by Herndon Wagers |
Description: The Death of God movement, a mainly Protestant phenomenon, arose in the United States during the 1960s. It evoked prolonged attention, response, and controversy. Though thinkers of many varied viewpoints have been grouped in this school, basic to practically all of them is the idea that belief in God is impossible or meaningless in the modern world and that fulfillment is to be found in secular life. In 1966, during Ministers Week at Southern Methodist University, three professors of theology at Perkins School of Theology presented their thoughts, followed by a Q&A session.
Schubert Miles Ogden (1928-2019) was an American Protestant theologian who proposed an interpretation of the Christian faith that he believed was both appropriate to the earliest apostolic witness found in the New Testament and also credible in the light of common human experience.
Dr. John W. Deschner (1924-2000). Deschner was Associate Professor of Christian Doctrine at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. He was dedicated to ecumenical causes.
Albert Cook Outler (1908-1989) was a 20th-century American Methodist historian, theologian, and pastor. He was a professor at Duke University, Yale University, and Southern Methodist University, and was a key figure in the 20th-century ecumenical movement.
Ogden begins at 9:39, Deschner starts at 19:56, Outler starts at 34:00, the Q&A starts at 53:40. | Length: 1:23:25 | Recording Date: February 9, 1966 | Recorded at: Perkins School of Theology, Dallas, Texas | Audio Quality: Good / Few Difficulties | Venue: Perkins School of Theology, Dallas, Texas | Faith Group: United Methodist / Methodist | Source: Bridwell Library, SMU | Rights: Copyright held by the Archives at Bridwell Library, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, All publishing rights reserved.
