Description

Episode Number: 101993This episode includes segments discussing the clean up of Meridian Hill Park in Washington, D.C. and social programs in public housing communities, including the City Lights project. First, Dick Gregory and LaVert Seabron talk about cleaning up Meridian Hill Park (or Malcolm X Park) including the removal of vagrants and drug dealers. Seabron criticizes Gregory's uninvited assistance, stating that the community was doing an acceptable job without his movement. Gregory cites that public drinking is the issue that Seabron's efforts fails to remedy. In the final segment, the chief of the Department of Public and Assisted Housing (DPAH) states that social programs provided by the department in the Washington, D.C. area are not popular and Carmine James Lane talks about the City Lights program that involves youth and adults with movies, lectures, and storytelling focused on African folktale and local history.
