A Moving Image History for the Classroom
Local television news archives contain infinite possibilities for public and community engagement with regional history. Access is often difficult, but this Buffalo case study shows how unique partnerships can be developed to open the archives for classroom use.
The Niagara Frontier Council for the Social Studies has helped create a comprehensive overview of African American history in Buffalo through segments from WIVB-TV’s Emmy Award winning documentaries. The modern civil rights movement has its earliest roots in Buffalo.
The Buffalo project creates a template for other regions across the state hoping to make history come alive through primary video source material.
B&ECPL Special Collection Rich Newberg Reports:
This collection of long-form reports by retired WIVB-TV Senior Correspondent Rich Newberg covers a wide range of social issues, Buffalo history and the arts. Mr. Newberg retired from the Buffalo CBS network affiliate at the end of 2015, after serving the station for thirty-seven years in various roles including main anchor, reporter and documentarian.
His New York Emmy Award winning pieces explore the abortion debate, care of the mentally ill, the African American struggle for civil rights, and the lessons of the Holocaust, among many topics. His video memoir, “One Reporter’s Journey, “ reflects on his forty-six year career, beginning as an advocate for those without a voice.
"My hope," says Newberg, “is that this collection will provide a lasting chronicle of life and issues in Buffalo during the latter part of the 20th century and into the new millennium."
