A little Black History

Posted by Chitown's Finest on April 12, 2011 at 11:30am

Here is a clip of the short documentary entitled "Half-time, USA" Circa 1968. During this time period, the Civil Rights Movement and racial segregation were still prevelant in the country. Majority of our beloved HBCU's had little to no coverage at the National Level due to race. In this clip, the Florida A&M University Marching "100" was featured in the film along with University of Michigan, University of Southern California, University of Alabama, and several other schools. I'm sure many of you care less, but I honestly believe that this is important because it is OUR HISTORY, not just FAMU's. Hope everyone enjoys.......
