Three by Madeline Anderson

Recognized as the first Black woman to direct a televised documentary film, Madeline Anderson brings viewers to the front lines of the civil rights movement in these essential records of struggle and determination. Capturing a pivotal labor strike led by Black female hospital employees ( I Am Somebody ), early desegregation efforts by Martin Luther King Jr. ( Integration Report 1 ), and a rare interview with Malcolm X’s widow, Dr. Betty Shabazz ( A Tribute to Malcolm X ), Anderson’s documentaries are a testament to the courage of the workers and activists at the heart of her films as well as to her own bravery, tenacity, and skill.
