Chicago, Communities, Latinx, White Sox

This is a tape of the 10 o’clock news on June 6, 1978. The tape switches between channels several times at the beginning to show some segments on each of Channels 2, 5, and 7. Many of the news segments cover the first anniversary of the 1977 Humboldt Park Riot, and give a report on the Humboldt Park community one year following the riots. These are followed by part of “Inside Spring Training” with the 1978 White Sox. Following this is part of “Overnight Man,” a candid documentary about WBBM radio journalist Joe Cummings. Cummings is interviewed, as well as many of his colleagues, who comment on his work and his personality as a “character.”
