While outright racism has never ceased to exist in the modern American society, neither did the humor that was a means of coping with it. Re-examining the lives of African Americans who carried the burden of being free men in a society still unable to totally accept the fact, the Virginian Clarence E. Freeman presents a witty but balanced account of federal racism and compartmentalization in a refreshingly different perspective with 'O.U.C.H! Our Unwelcome Colored Help'. It is about his experience of bigotry in the workplace through long years at his job in the Quality Control and Methods Engineering Branches, Planning Administrative Division, Supply Department, Naval Air Station, Norfolk, Virginia.

For much of the 20th century, Carl Sandburg (1/6/1878 - 7/22/1967) was synonymous with the American experience, a spokesman on behalf of "the people." One of the most successful writers in the English language, Sandburg was a three-time Pulitzer Prize-winner for his poetry (Cornhuskers, 1918 and Complete Poems, 1950) and part of his six-volume Lincoln biography (Abraham Lincoln: The War Years, 1939). He was also a groundbreaking journalist, folk song collector, children's storyteller, political organizer/activist, novelist, autobiographer, and captivating performer. Yet, after his death, Sandburg's literary legacy faded and his poems, once taught in schools across America, were dismissed under the weight of massive critical attack. The new 90-minute documentary American Masters The Day Carl Sandburg Died, premiering nationally Monday, September 24 at 10 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings) to commemorate the 45th anniversary of his death, provides a dynamic examination of Sandburg's life, work and controversial legacy from a modern perspective. The film will be available on DVD September 25 through PBS Distribution.
