Part 15-LBCAA 30 year history
For approximately 25 consecutive years, LBCAA/MusicUNTOLD
produced a music event to celebrate Juneteenth that only included a brief description
of how Juneteenth began in Galveston, Texas. In contract, on June 16, 2012 MusicUNTOLD screened the PBS documentary SLAVERY BY ANOTHER NAME followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A at
Houghton Park Community Center. The 90-minute PBS documentary is based on the
2009 Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Douglas Blackmon “that challenges one of Americans’ most cherished assumptions: the belief
that slavery in this country ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. The film
tells how even as chattel slavery came to an end in the South in 1865,
thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality. It was a system in which men, often
guilty of no crime at all, were arrested, compelled to work without pay,
repeatedly bought and sold, and coerced to do the bidding of masters. Tolerated
by both the North and South, forced labor lasted well into the 20th century.
For most Americans this is
entirely new history. Slavery
by Another Name gave voice to the largely forgotten victims and perpetrators of forced
labor and features their descendants living today”
After the screening, Leo Stallworth of
KABC Channel 7 Eyewitness News moderated a discussion and audience Q&A
featuring U.S. Rep. Laura Richardson, attorney Michelle Anderson, retired Judge
Marcus Tucker and minister and former Deputy District Attorney Arthur Grey
13th is a 2016
American documentary film by director Ava DuVernay. The film explores the "intersection of race, justice
and mass incarceration in the United States;" it is titled after the Thirteenth Amendment to the
United States Constitution, which freed the slaves and prohibited slavery (unless as punishment for a crime).
