“On December 5, Conversations in Black Freedom Studies will present Black Power TV author Devorah Heitner in a discussion on the rise of African-American public television: New York’s Inside Bedford-Stuyvesant and Boston’s Say Brother, as well as Black America’s Soul! & Black Journal. Her special guest will be Madeline Anderson. After making the 1963 film The Cool World Madeline Anderson worked on Black Journal, including the 1969 “A Tribute to Malcolm.” In 1978, she became the first African American woman to produce a nationally broadcast television series, The Infinity Factory.”
