Side 2: Oct. 8, 1968 meeting
Radio broadcast of the Tacoma City Council meeting, headed by mayor A.L. Rasmussen, from Oct. 8, 1968. Hot topic and big argument of the night was the mayor feeling the council had been misinformed that $23,000 spent for a “Black culture program” would be spent for park playground leaders.
Human Relations Committee and the Open Housing Review Board member John Epps and mayor Rasmussen discuss race, Black culture and the historical effects of white America vs. Black America.
