Description: Here is a very brief excerpt of the show "Black's View of the News" on WCIU Channel 26, hosted by Don Cornelius of Soul Train fame.

You can see Don taking calls from people - having them call in to 663-9553. He is asking people who the most effective and relevant black leader is - to which the caller answers Jesse Jackson - certainly true for the time I would say. You can also see an old WCIU-TV 26 logo placard in the background.

This excerpt was found on a two-inch quad tape - it had been recorded over by another program from the same time period.

This aired on local Chicago TV likely in 1970. (sometime before October 7th)
