TUTV airs doc and panel on impact of local activist history

Posted

50 years have passed since a group of activists burglarized an FBI office, uncovering an illegal surveillance system used to watch and infiltrate the lives of American citizens who were involved in non-violent anti-Vietnam War protests and other civil rights groups. The burglarization, coined MEDBURG, revealed counterintelligence planted on activist groups and the existence of the infamous COINTELPRO operation. To commemorate the anniversary, these activists, along with the Washington Post reporter who exposed the crimes and various guests, returned to the scene of the crime: Media, PA.

On September 1, 2021, those involved reconvened to unveil a dedicated historical marker in Media Borough and to shed light on the significance of these events fifty years ago. Temple University’s own Dean David Boardman and Professor Marc Lamont Hill attended the commemoration. A screening of the 1971 documentary, which breaks down and portrays the events of that night, was hosted along with a discussion panel by Lamont Hill.

The 1971 documentary and discussion panel will air Wednesday, October 15 at 1 and 9 p.m. on TUTV. Tune in to learn more about this significant moment in history and hear speeches from prominent leaders at Temple.

Temple University’s Klein College of Media and Communication announced last Monday, October 6th that they will be naming the school’s new Sports Media Center after Claire Smith, a pioneer who set the standard for women in the sports media field.

Smith graduated from Klein in 1979 and has come full circle back to the college with the honor of this new center. She was the first women to be recognized with the Baseball Writers’ Association of America Career Excellence Award in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Students will have the chance to follow in her footsteps and achieve greatness through a whole new understanding of both the knowledge and the culture, theory, and history of the sports media field.

Temple intends for the new addition to be a world-class academic center focused on the teaching, training, and research of sports journalism and related fields. Offering the only Sports Media Certificate of its kind for undergraduates, the center will only broaden the opportunities for participating students. In addition to these critical professional aspects, the center will focus on multiculturalism and breaking down racial and gender barriers in the sports media industry. The facility will be built on a foundation of Smith’s values: ethics, excellence, and integrity.
