Footage shows an urban neighborhood and middle school in Connecticut during the '70s.
Mostly blacks hangout in what appears to be a low-income, projects-like neighborhood. Red-brick apartment buildings loom in the background. Black men lay on the hood of a car.
Pan shot across a school campus. Yellow buses are parked. Students - some wear very retro clothing - walk through the school hallways. In a class, the teacher drones on as his students appear tired, listless, and entirely uninterested, ready to go home.
