Ted Koppel hosts a five-day series of broadcasts dealing with issues of racism. Topics include: attitudes and beliefs of white residents of Bridesberg (a Philadelphia neighborhood) that fueled attempts to keep Bridget Ward, a black single mother, from settling in their neighborhood; the amounts of money whites feel would be adequate compensation if they were black; the discrimination experienced in childhood by Greg Williams, a man who looks white but is of mixed ancestry; the linking of the accidental traffic death of Cynthia Williams, a 17-year old black single mother, to the de facto discrimination against blacks through the planning of public transportation routes in Buffalo, New York; arguments given by Jane Elliot and Bob Woodson as to whether blacks' anger against whites can be defined as black racism; and opinions regarding racism and discrimination as expressed by a panel of black professionals and a panel of nonblack professionals.
