Take This Hammer
Author and activist James Baldwin meets with members of the African American community in San Francisco in 1963. He is escorted by Youth For Service's Executive Director Orville Luster and is intent on discovering "the real situation of Negroes in the city, as opposed to the image San Francisco would like to present." KQED produced this for NET, the predecessor of WNET.
