Back Governor Wallace--fight for segregation! Who is the Senior Citizens Committee? Young men's business club--way left!\" and \"Has Boutwell sold out to the minority group?\" The signs refer to the Senior Citizens Committee, created by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and which comprised of eighty-nine leading white men representing industry, manufacturing, and service in the community. The group was organized in August 1962 to address local race relations.","Next, in the council chamber room, a biracial audience listens as Mayor Boutwell speaks from the lectern. Boutwell reminds the audience of the city's accomplishment in changing its form of government, as well as the strain of recent political and racial conflict. He declares \"the real concern of this city is the future\" and implores his listeners to learn from the past.","Over 180 men attended the July 16 meeting where the Community Affairs Committee was created; about twenty-five men from the White Citizens Council and the Ku Klux Klan picketed outside the event. While civil rights leaders viewed the creation of the Community Affairs Committee as a promising first step, the committee was ultimately divided into three segregated subcommittees, two all-white, and one all-black.","Boutwell's reference to changing the city government refers to the April 2, 1963 runoff election in which Birmingham residents voted to replace the city commission with a mayor-council system of government. Ultimately, the effect of the election was to replace the strongly segregationist commissioners--Eugene \"Bull\" Connor, Arthur Hanes, and J. T. \"Jabo\" Waggoner--with a more moderate government led by Albert Boutwell. But through the spring of 1963, the commissioners refused to leave office pending an appeal of the election, which the Alabama Supreme Court upheld May 20, 1963.","Title supplied by cataloger."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn33491"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["Mayors--Alabama--Birmingham","White Citizens councils--Alabama--Birmingham","Picketing--Alabama--Birmingham","Committees--Alabama--Birmingham","Segregation--Alabama--Birmingham","Race relations","Project C, Birmingham, Ala., 1963","Birmingham (Ala.)--Race relations--History--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of mayor Albert Boutwell speaking to the city's new biracial committee in Birmingham, Alabama, 1963 July 16"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

Shuttlesworth outlines the agreement's four points, beginning first with planned desegregation of downtown Birmingham's commercial facilities. Leaders also agree to increase economic opportunities for African Americans, including the hire of African Americans for retail positions and the creation of a committee to study and encourage continued progress in other areas of employment. Thirdly, Shuttlesworth explains they have agreed to release on bond of prisoners arrested during the previous weeks' demonstrations. (On May 2 alone, nearly one thousand people had been arrested.)  Finally, the agreement seeks to facilitate communication between African American and white leaders. Civil rights demonstrations jointly led by the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights (ACMHR) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) began in early April, 1963. White Birmingham merchants, effected by ongoing demonstrations and boycotts, agreed to negotiate with African Americans, represented by Arthur Shores, Louis Pitts, and A. G. Gaston. These three African Americans presented the movement's demands to white negotiators on May 5; on May 10, the two sides reached the agreement outlined here by Shuttlesworth, ending demonstrations.","Title supplied by cataloger."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn40100"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["Negotiation--Alabama--Birmingham","Central business districts--Alabama--Birmingham","Segregation--Alabama--Birmingham","Civil rights movements--Alabama--Birmingham","Discrimination in employment--Alabama--Birmingham","Committees--Alabama--Birmingham","Prisoners--Alabama--Birmingham","Direct action--Alabama--Birmingham","Discrimination in public accommodations--Alabama--Birmingham"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth reading the terms of a demonstration-ending agreement between African American civil rights demonstrators and white leaders in Birmingham, Alabama, 1963 May 10"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

King presents each of the demands in turn; he begins with the desegregation of downtown shopping facilities, including \"lunch counters, fitting rooms, the restrooms.\" He continues with the second proposal that the downtown stores improve employment opportunities for African Americans. Next, he requests that the merchants ask Birmingham officials to drop charges against arrested demonstrators. In his fourth and concluding point, King asks local businessmen to urge the city government to create a biracial committee that would address ongoing African American concerns, such as the integration of the public schools and library. While civil rights efforts in Birmingham led by the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights (ACMHR) had already been taking place for several years, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) came to Birmingham and joined in even more concentrated efforts that began April 3, 1963. Local merchants, distressed by a longstanding economic boycott that had been targeted towards segregated downtown businesses, embarked on discussions with civil rights leaders at the end of April. Pressure on city officials to negotiate increased substantially after city commissioner Eugene \"Bull\" Connor directed law enforcement officers to disperse young demonstrators with high-pressure fire hoses and dogs. Connor, along with the other city commissioners, was also involved in a legal battle at the time to prohibit the city of Birmingham from changing the city government from a city commission to a mayor-council structure. White and black leaders reached a demonstration-ending compromise on May 10; Connor and city commissioners lost their lawsuit on May 23.","Title supplied by cataloger.","IMLS Grant, 2008.","Digibeta Center Cut (4 x 3) downconvert from HDD5 1080/23.98PsF film transfer."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn34564"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["Civil rights movements--Alabama--Birmingham","Negotiation--Alabama--Birmingham","Segregation--Alabama--Birmingham","Discrimination in employment--Alabama--Birmingham","Committees--Alabama--Birmingham","Central business districts--Alabama--Birmingham","Direct action--Alabama--Birmingham","Discrimination in public accommodations--Alabama--Birmingham","Project C, Birmingham, Ala., 1963"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. presenting four demands of the civil rights movement in Birmingham, Alabama, 1963 May 5"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.
