	Curtis Davis, Director of Cultural Programming 1963-1966 Scope and Content Note Comprising boxes 14 to 21 of the files on Cultural Programming, this major segment contains information on a number of important series and programs, including The Creative Person, Magazine of the Arts, Pathfinders, USA: Arts, Music, and Poetry. It is arranged in three alphabetical subject files: one of programs, a second of program proposals and a third of general subjects. As in the other NET files, reverse chronological order within the individual folders is the rule. The file of programs includes programs actually undertaken for production by NET, regardless as to whether or not they were successfully completed. The program proposals includes ideas, formal proposals -- both from within NET and from without, and resource files of clippings and similar items. Often a set of NET files were so hopelessly intermingled that it was next to impossible to separate one man's from another's. Sometimes it served no useful purpose to make the attempt. These files of Curtis Davis are a case in point. NET producer and Director of Cultural Programming in that order, Davis' files were mixed with those apparently generated by producers Craig Gilbert and James Perrin, both of whom worked in Cultural Programming, probably responsible to Davis. In addition to the major segments from the Gilbert and Perrin files, Davis' file also includes an occasional folder belonging to Kay Chessid and Rita Broder, containing memos, editing notes, bills and teletype. Kay Chessid eventually became a producer of documentaries, but her function with Davis is not clear. Because of the severe mixing and because of the limited quantity, the files were all grouped under Curtis Davis, Director of Cultural Programming. They include evidence of his work as a producer as well as an administrator and document the production activity of James Perrin on The Pathfinder series as well as Craig Gilbert on “The Creative Person” series. Also in evidence is Charles Vaughn, Producer of Science Programming who apparently consulted with the Cultural unit on a series done on the Argonne National Laboratory; also, Science Programming was a part of Cultural prior to 1965. In addition, unit producers Edward J. Hingers, Joe Morgenstern and Jerome C. Karpf are also present, as is Jack Sameth, Executive Producer with Perrin of Pathfinders. Whenever apparent, the name of the producer, other than Davis, responsible for a program or series was placed in the folder title. One folder entitled U.S.A.: The Opposition Theater illustrates several truths about the NET collection. First, there is pathetically little information when one considers the magnitude of the venture being documented, viz. a seven-program series. Secondly, the folder contains two types of documents not present in any of the other production files, namely Performer Engagement contracts and a “Permission to use Excerpts” form, which serves as a reminder that no single production file in NET contains examples of all the various types of production records. Thirdly, this file contains much William Kobin correspondence, illustrating the heavy incidence of passing letters from office to office that occurred at NET. Fourthly, the folder contains a little bit of everything on the series, including initial proposal, program agreement, engagement contracts, routine production “getting it done” memos, press releases, P. I.'s program information sheets, budget and technical information, distribution information, and viewer reactions. Two folders, Box 21, Folders 10 and 11, on NET/ETS Music and Copyright Committee illustrate educational television's battle in 1963-66 to prevent a revision of the copyright laws in a manner detrimental to the future of poorly financed educational television. Curt Davis was a member of that committee.

	Jac Venza, Producer, Cultural Programming, 1962-1968 Scope and Content Note Comprising boxes 22 to 38 of the records of cultural programming, Jac Venza's files are the largest single unit therein. Venza was apparently a producer of uncommon vitality and ability, as evidenced by the wide range of programs he produced and their extraordinary number. Emphasizing primarily dance and music, programs and series worked on by Venza included The Creative Person, Dance/USA, Lincoln Center: Stage Five, NET Festival, NET Playhouse,and Trio. Venza's close assistant was Virginia Kassel, who later became assistant to Vice President for Programming and a producer in her own right. Wherever possible, folders that were primarily hers have been identified as such. The vast majority of this series is production files for various series and programs. Most of the material is Venza's. There are, however, two sets of folders that are completely Kassel's; one is a set of affiliates correspondence, and the other is folders on the Creative Person series. The Kassel Creative Person folders usually contain correspondence regarding a particular program or a certain producer. The Venza folders for the same series contain a wider variety of production-type material, including schedules, scripts, bills, and receipts, thus providing information about the series from two administrative levels and documenting the breakdown of responsibility between Venza and Kassel. The following folders contain information of special interest: Box 16, folder 2-information about entire arts programming for 1964-1965 season; box 4, folder 1-Creative Person Jack Beeson later was removed from the series and used as a companion for Lizzie Borden; box 5, folder 3-a list of principles for consideration of creative persons and Curt Davis' reaction to the 1965 series; box 11, folder 14-a prophetic comment about the future career of Dustin Hoffman; and box 2, folder 7-individual program data sheets for 1965 Creative Person series. Removed from the files was a 16 mm film of the opening frames of The Creative Person and the magnetic sound track to accompany it.

	Arthur Rabin, Producer, Cultural Programming 1963-1965 Scope and Content Note These six boxes of production files are devoted entirely to the eight-program series, History of the Negro People. Produced by Arthur Rabin and directed by Norton Bloom, this series is one of the most thoroughly documented in the entire NET collection. The series focused on the three major concentrations of Negro population: Africa, Latin America and the United States. Arthur Rabin, the producer of these programs, began research in 1963, and terminated work on the series in July 1965. NET telecast the series beginning the week of October 10, 1965. Ossie Davis is narrator for the series and wrote the drama “Slavery” which is one of the programs. The other drama “Free At Last” was written by Arthur Rabin and James Benjamin. Novelist John A. Williams wrote a program on the American Negro's ties with Africa entitled, “Omoude-A Child Returns,” which is part of the program “Back to Africa.” In this series NET has traced the evolution of the Negro People from their African past to their probable future, shooting the film both in the studio and on location. The first program of the series concerns the “Negro and His African Past.” No scripts or research materials are included on this program, but Rabin's outline of the series states that this program looks at the heritage of the Negro to reveal the civilizations and achievements of ancient Africa usually ignored by historical research and examines its significance to the American Negro today. Directly related to this, but more contemporary is the second program “Back to Africa,” which deals with the relationship of the American Negro to Africans and Africa. John A. Williams, an outstanding Negro novelist reports on the odyssey of an American Negro in Africa. A third program relates to the “History of the Negro in Brazil,” compared and contrasted to the American Negro's experience. The question of whether Brazil is in fact a racial paradise is explored. [Included in the research file for Brazil are two different versions of a handwritten diary (written in retrospect) of Florence Marg de Swart (Miss Flora). Written during World War II, she describes her experiences during and feelings toward her thirty years (1913-1944) in Brazil. She was born in Paris, and spent her early years in England and France. She went to Brazil in 1914 as the governess for the Count and Countess Candido Mendes de Almeida, and she later worked for the Countess Pereira Carneiro, as a companion to her mother for over ten years. Her reminiscences include descriptions of: time spent in France, Brazil's inflation of currency, the WWI armistice in England, the cost of land in Rio de Janeiro in the 1920s, Rio's growth and development over the thirty years, impressions of the French, impressions of the U. S. and its people, Natal, Rio Grande de Norte, Recife, the heat of Belem, the first planes to northern Brazil, the sugar refineries of Pernambuco. She taught English at Natal for nine years; she made numerous trips between Europe and Brazil, and within Brazil; she helped during both World Wars, and she describes that--first in England and second in Brazil at a way station for English fliers. Many photos are included in the diary, mostly of local Brazilian scenes, and including one of the Brazilian imperial family, whom she met.] After examining Brazil, NET used a dramatic choral work to focus on the question of slavery. This program was adapted by Ossie Davis from the actual testimony of former slaves, and was performed by Davis, Ruby Dee and the choral group VOICES Inc. Directly related to the existence of slavery is an examination of the history of the South from slavery to the Supreme Court decision of 1954. “Negro and the South” also explores the southern way of life and what this has meant to the Negro. Coinciding chronologically with the “Negro and the South” is “Oh Freedom,” which explores the history of the Negro from emancipation to the end of World War II. This history is told through the actual words of four major Negro figures: Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. DuBois, and Marcus Garvey. The next program deals with the “New Mood of the American Negro.” In this examination covering the New Militancy and the Supreme Court decision of 1954 to the present, stress is placed upon the last ten years of Negro “revolt” and its impact upon Negro and white Americans. In “Inner World of the Free Negro,” impressions are given on the richness and variety of the culture of the Negro. Through interview transcripts and an essay it presents the thoughts, experiences, and motivations unique to the Negro in American life. The last program deals with the future of the Negro with a symposium of scholars who prophesy about the future of Negroes in the U. S. and around the world. This series includes correspondence, research materials, clippings, pamphlets, foreign government brochures, contracts, releases, scripts, transcripts, records of stock footage, music, and credits, outlines and progress reports. Also included is a book proof of Together in America by Johanna Johnson, published March 1965, which is located in the general research folder for the series. Important correspondents: January 29, 1964, letter from Mrs. W.E.B. DuBois, also Leo Hansberry and Gilberto Freyre.
