Report from the south – James Bevel

In the summer of 1963, KPFA, KPFK, and WBAI scheduled regular hours for news updates “from the South” from their correspondent Dale Minor. This particular update follows an arrest of civil rights activist Hosea Williams and the ensuing demonstrations and violence in Savannah, Georgia. Reverend James Bevel of Birmingham fame speaks about non-violent resistance at a mass meeting on a Friday evening, followed by a conclave with city and state officials. Bevel is introduced by Reverend Andrew Young, another official of the Southern Christian leadership Conference. Following his speech, Bevel leads the audience in the song, “Whose Side Are You On?”
