Liner notes:
For many years, the general public and the Black Community in particular, lived in the midst of a virtual desert of non-information about ancient African history. By chance, a man or woman here and there would glimpse the dim past, discover its treasures, and understand its meaning. But today, during the period of Black Se!f-Discovery, this is changing. Today, the covers are being pulled off the past in a manner that will spark all sorts of reactions. Some will try to walk away in disbelief. Many others will find their eyes opening so wide to a new encounter with the Truth that their lives will never be the same again. Never! Your life won't be the same again either, once the needle touches these grooves. What you have in your hands is a mind blower! It is history—Black people's history, our history—revealed in rare form. Check it out for yourself: Was Moses a Black man? Did the early Christian church start in Africa? Is it true that the queen of England has African ancestors? Did Black scholars, in fact, help to create the religion of Islam? Who, indeed, first wrote and spoke the words, "Man, Know Thyself?" Check it out for yourself. The Committee for Student Rights, Inc., in response to strong public demand, produced this two-record album of a major lecture delivered by the renowned historian-philosopher, Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan. The Committee captured just a portion of the impact of Dr. Ben-Jochannan's speech before an overflow audience that day when the Truth of African people's glorious1iistory took them by surprise. . . . The speaker is an Ethiopia-born Black scholar who spent part of his early life in the West Indies. He has been a researcher into the past of the African race since the 1930's. His travels have taken him to four continents. The founder of Akebu-lan Book Publishing Company, Dr. Ben-Jochannan is the author of an impressive list of publications, including Black Man of the Nile, Africa-Mother of Western Civilization, African Origins of the Major Western Religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), Cul-tural Genocide in the Black Studies Curriculum, We, the Black Jews, and others. He authored summary works called, "A Chronology of the Bible," and "The Black Man's North and East Africa." Herein lies a golden opportunity for you to get "turned on" to yourself in a short time. Freeing Black people means freeing yourself, and to free yourself you must take back your mind. Knowing YOUR/OUR history is the first step in this liberation process.

According to producer Brett Alexander, CBS News has conducted network television's most extensive research on Malcolm X, including the examination of much of 50,000 pages of FBI material. "We have also pulled together the most comprehensive footage available from our own CBS News archives as well as from WCBS-TV," Mr. Alexander says. "And, we have assembled virtually all of the important people who knew Malcolm X."

The program includes interviews with Malcolm's widow, Betty Shabazz, as well as such important black cultural and political figures as Maya Angelou, Quincy Jones, Andrew Young, and Dick Gregory - who each reveal some insight into the provocative personality and dynamic principles of Malcolm X. In addition, a new generation of well-known African-Americans talk about the legacy of Malcolm X and the influence he had on their lives." - original press release

By 1967, war, racism, and poverty had become the dominant issues confronting America and the Freedom Movement. On April 4, Dr. King forcefully speaks out against the Vietnam War with "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence," delivered at Riverside Church in New York City. Ten days later, in a speech at Stanford University titled "The Other America," Dr. King addresses race, poverty and economic justice. (At various times in 1967 and '68 he gave slightly different versions of "The Other America" to other audiences. - www.crmvet.org
