Seeds of Discontent was a 1968 radio documentary series |
|
that explored discontented social groups and |
|
organizations attempting to improve their conditions in |
|
American society. Created by Hartford Smith, Jr. and |
|
Wayne State University s WDET in Detroit, the series |
|
addressed topics including race relations, civil rights, |
|
poverty, youth, and crime. Smith s connections with the |
|
community as a social worker allowed him to record hours |
|
of interviews with people about their lives and their |
|
opinions on contemporary issues. This episode is the |
|
third of four focusing on African American entertainers. |
|
It features the singer Odetta, the musician Leslie |
|
Grinage, and the comedian Dick Gregory discussing the |
|
larger problems of African Americans. |
|
|
|
The series, distributed by the National Educational Radio |
|
Network, was made publicly available as part of the |
|
Unlocking the Airwaves project, a digital humanities |
|
initiative from University of Maryland and the University |
|
of Wisconsin-Madison launched in summer 2021. Learn more |
