From Swastika to Jim Crow
This is a profoundly moving documentary about European Scholars who came to the USA in the 1930's and weren't allowed to teach in White colleges. However, they where hired at the southern Black colleges and enriched the lives of black students and their own lives. This is a must see film. This was one of the greats gifts White America gave to the southern black colleges. Thank You America!
