In 1968, NET — the National Educational Television network, which later became PBS — produced a documentary called “Still a Brother - Inside the Negro Middle Class”.
The film explored a part of Black America that rarely made headlines: Black professionals, educators, and families who had achieved a degree of economic stability in a country that was simultaneously burning down around them. MLK had just been assassinated. Cities were in uprising. And the civil rights movement was fracturing along lines of class, strategy, and identity.
This clip captures one of the most honest moments in the entire film — a Black middle class man sitting in front of a camera in 1968 and admitting, out loud, that the system had gotten inside his head. That he had spent most of his life distancing himself from working class Black people, and measuring his own worth through a white middle class lens — without ever fully realizing it.
