Program Description
Program discusses the role of the United Nations, and in particular the changing status of western nations in light of the growing representation of Third World countries. Dr. Ephraim Isaac, Harvard Professor of African American studies, introduces the program and provides insight into the history of the United Nations, the purpose that it serves, the growing representation of African and other Third World countries in the organization, the shift in the United Nations' power structure, and Africa's use of the United Nations as a forum to end colonialism. In addition, the program includes excerpts from educational films from the United Nations' film library and television unit, excerpts from a non-Say Brother interview session with Nigerian Ambassador Leslie Harriman and French Ambassador Louis Guiriangaud (in which the Third World as a voting entity is discussed), and "man on the street" interviews conducted by Associate Producer Vickie Jones on whether or not growing Third World representation will affect the treatment of African Americans in the United States and events in Angola.
