- Program Description
Program consists of numerous segments illustrating the views of black women on life, love and marriage, as well as how black men perceive black women. The two longest segments of the program feature a conversation with photographer Chester Higgins, Jr. about his new book of photographs, "Black Woman," and a discussion lead by Associate Producer Vickie Jones whose focus is traditional marriage versus polygamy. Additional segments include female vocalist, modern dance and poetry performances; a brief "Information" segment on prominent black women in Boston (Elma Lewis, Director of the National Center of Afro-American Artists, Inc., Doris Bunte, Massachusetts State Representative, and Josephine Holley, founder of Le Parisienne Beauty Salon), two short film segments (one of Malcolm X talking about women), and two interviews with elderly black women from Boston talking about education and employment as it was when they were in their twenties.
