Sound: sound

Description: This film reel from Austin’s KTVV-TV (now KXAN-TV) contains a series of television news footage that would have aired as highlights to news stories. Many are silent and would have been voiced over by the anchorperson. The segments on this reel date from December 6, 1976. This series relate to news stories about a Supreme Court desegregation ruling, the departure of Coach Darrell K Royal, and a Mexican American corner store.Please note, this film uses derogatory and dated language to describe persons with intellectual disabilities. The Texas Archive of the Moving Image does not condone the use of the word “retarded,” but presents this film as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as to claim this term never existed.
