In addition to that youtube, I also found and watched one entitled, 40's TV: Anti-Racism PSA from The DuMont Network (1949) (REAL). It talked about prejudice of not only race but religion. Simple. Sweet. Intelligent. Check it out on the same page to the link posted above.

I can remember listening to Don McNeill’s Breakfast Club in Detroit back in the late 40s. Their catchphrase for the “silent prayer” was “...each in his own words, each in his own way.”

That was great.

This is ironic. I just finished downloading a number of old TV shows. Go here Internet Archive, then select 'Moving Images', scroll down to 'Movies', then scroll down again to 'Classic TV' (toward the end). Enjoy! BTW, I find their search engine doesn't work well with Firefox. I use IE when visiting this site.

I was a (smartass) kid he interviewed once on his show.
