- Description
- Maya Angelou – playwright, lecturer, director, singer, dancer, actress, editor and political activist – speaks with interviewer Bill Moyers about "Black and White" in American culture. Their conversation about race and gender dives into heavy topics such as identity, freedom and belonging, memory, motherhood, power, and other factors that shape American life. Angelou gets candid about stereotypes, the strength of Black womanhood, and what inspires her. She challenges the idea of America as a “melting pot,” confronts the legacy of labels, and reframes the quest for liberation.
"Bill Moyers Journal" was a weekly current affairs program covering economics, history, literature, religion, philosophy, science, and politics.

- Five legendary athletes come together for a rare and candid discussion about the role of the Black athlete in America. Jackie Robinson, Bill Russell, Arthur Ashe, Johnny Sample, and Harry Edwards pull back the curtain on what fans never see — unequal contracts, token progress (making only a superficial or symbolic effort to be inclusive), corporate power, and the pressure placed on Black athletes to stay silent. They take pride in a new generation willing to stand up, while challenging the myth of progress in professional sports — from being treated as “a product, not a person” to confronting who really holds power behind the scenes. The question lingers: where is the line drawn in sports when it comes to athletes taking a stand — and who decides it?

In a wide-ranging conversation, Rev. Jackson discusses that while the legislative victories of the Civil Rights Movement had been won, the fight was far from over. He reframed the movement’s focus from civil rights to what he called “silver rights”: economic justice, full employment, fair taxation, and access to housing and healthcare. He also critiques federal spending priorities, calls for mass mobilization behind the Hawkins Full Employment Bill, challenges growing cynicism within the Black community, and argues that dignity must be matched with discipline, excellence, and collective responsibility. He outlines his "Three E's."
