Now here is some footage I'd love to see and hear.
Resurrecting Hartford, 1969
August 11, 2003
By MIKE SWIFT, Courant Staff Writer

John Carter Jr. spoke from the aged black-and-white celluloid, self-controlled yet intense in suit-and-tie, his humor bundled with anger as he described Hartford's poverty, his hand thumping the table as he spoke.

Hundreds of hours of file shot in Hartford Connecticut during the turbulent year of 1969.

I can almost feel the hopes and dreams of a community, now all but lost to 30 years of failed policy and republican hatred of the poor.

Hartford is just a shell, her most talented citizens sucked away into the burbs.
