Say Brother. Public Housing
Description
Program examines the problems related to public housing in Boston, Massachusetts. Host Melvin Moore speaks with guests Myra McAdoo (Executive Director of the Tenants' Policy Council), Alan Root (Chairman of the Tenants' Policy Council), and David McDonough (Special Assistant to the Administrator of the Boston Housing Authority) to discuss the relationship between the Boston Housing Authority and the Tenants Policy Council, the needs of tenants from the viewpoint of different Boston organizations, the nature of the 'consent decree,' and what is necessary to improve conditions for tenants. Additional segments include the 'Third World Connection' (on intermarriages between Native Americans and Africans in Massachusetts in the 1800s), an interview with Native American author Ron Skenandore (who discusses his book The Earth is a Perfect Mother), an interview with pianist Reginald Hubbard (who discusses his Hubbard Concert Series), and an in-studio performance by Hubbard.
