  • REFLECTION REFLECTION the Freedom Riders of the Civil Rights Movement
    REFLECTION REFLECTION The Freedom Riders of the Civil Rights Movement “I’m taking a trip on the Greyhound bus line, I’m riding the front seat to New Orleans this time. Hallelujah I’m a travelin’, hallelujah ain’t it fine, Hallelujah I’m a travelin’ down freedom’s main line.” This reflection is based on the PBS documentary, “Freedom Riders,” which is a production of The American Experience. To watch the film, go to: http://to.pbs.org/1VbeNVm. SUMMARY OF THE FILM From May to November 1961, over 400 Americans, both black and white, witnessed the power of nonviolent activism for civil rights. The Freedom Riders were opposing the racist Jim Crow laws of the South by riding bus lines from Washington, D.C., down through the Deep South. These Freedom Rides were organized by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). Despite the violence, threats, and extraor- dinary racism they faced, people of conscience, both black and white, Northern and Southern, rich and poor, old and young, carried out the Freedom Rides as a testimony to the basic truth all Americans hold: that the government must protect the constitutional rights of its people. Finally, on September 22, 1961, segregation on the bus lines ended. This was arguably the movement that changed the force and effectiveness of the Civil Rights Movement as a whole and set the stage for other organized movements like the Selma to Montgomery March and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. This documentary is based on the book Freedom Riders: 1961 and the Struggle for Racial Equality by Raymond Arsenault (http://bit.ly/1Vbn4sy).

Metodický koncept k efektivní podpoře klíčových odborných kompetencí s využitím cizího jazyka ATCZ62 - CLIL jako výuková strategie na vysoké škole History of television in Czechoslovakia Pioneers: ● František Pilát - later post-war technical director of Barrandov Film Studio, himself built a television receiver ● Pilát was the first in Czechoslovakia to receive experimental Baird's "thirty-line" broadcast, spread in the early 1930s (1929- 1935) from Great Britain to the mid-wave of 261.5 meters. ●The most active pre-war pioneer of the television is dr. Jaroslav Šafránek, associate professor of experimental physics at Charles University in Prague ●In 1935 Šafránek built his own functioning television equipment, with which he later traveled to the Republic and presented him in public. History of television in Czechoslovakia The Ministry of Post and Telegraph refused to authorize Šafránek to broadcast television in the air. Šafranek´s ​​equipment could only work in the laboratory and lecture halls. While Šafránek, radio amateurs and their interest organization, Czechoslovak Radio Broadcasting Corporation requested permission for experimental broadcasting of a mechanical low-line (30 line) television mainly serving radio amateurs, the Ministry of Post and Telegraph, which since 1934 closely watched developments abroad, wanted to provide frequencies for television broadcasting to some more developed Projects. He was guided by the principle - to wait, to study foreign facts and then to decide. In 1939, television research on the territory of former Czechoslovakia ended. (Threats to the Republic, Munich, and the Nazi occupation). At that time, Shafranek was working on a more advanced 240-line image decomposition device.

A telling example of this is the US born aerobics movement as it was brought to TV in Europe, with shows such as Gym Tonic (from 1982) in France, Enorm in Form (from 1983) in Germany or the Green Goddess on BBC Breakfast Time (from 1983) in Great Britain.

Material traces refer to both the moving image products and the assortment of documentation about the processes of television as industrial and creative endeavors. By identifying the development of television-specific archives and collecting areas in the 1950s to the 1970s, the dissertation contributes to television studies, specifically pointing out how television materials were conceived as cultural and historical materials “worthy” of preservation and academic study.

    THE GOLDEN WE; A HISTORY OF BROADCASTING IN THE UNITED STA TES 1933-195 r_ ERIK BARNOUW s 11*. !,f THE GOLDEN WEB A History of Broadcasting in the United States Volume II, 1933 -1953 ERIK BARNOUW The giant broadcasting networks are the "golden web" of the title of this continuation of Mr. Bamouw's definitive history of Amer- ican broadcasting. By 1933, when the vol- ume opens, the National Broadcasting Com- pany was established as a country -wide network, and the Columbia Broadcasting System was beginning to challenge it. By 1953, at the volume's close, a new giant, television, had begun to dominate the in- dustry, a business colossus. Mr. Barnouw vividly evokes an era during which radio touched almost every Ameri- can's life: when Franklin D. Roosevelt's "fireside chats" helped the nation pull through the Depression and unite for World War II; other political voices -Mayor La Guardia, Pappy O'Daniel, Father Coughlin, Huey Long -were heard in the land; and overseas news -broadcasting hit its stride with on-the -scene reports of Vienna's fall and the Munich Crisis. The author's descrip- tion of the growth of news broadcasting, through the influence of correspondents like Edward R. Murrow, H. V. Kaltenborn, William L. Shirer, and Eric Sevareid, is particularly illuminating. Here are behind- the -scenes struggles for power -the higher the stakes the more im- placable- between such giants of the radio world as David Sarnoff and William S. Paley; the growing stranglehold of the ad- vertising agencies on radio programming; and the full story of Edwin Armstrong's suit against RCA over FM, with its tragic after- math.
