New America: a vast expanse of wilderness, populated in its early settlement years by a widely scattered handful of risktakers with big dreams. How did this America become a nation of supermarkets, skyscrapers and split levels; a country with the greatest economic output in the world? Many of the answers to this question can be found in our economic history - the subject of this video series.
#1: Land
From the conquest of the wilderness to our modern agribusiness, this program traces the facts and factors behind the growth of our nation and our land. Interspersed with the narrative is the story of how we moved from simple subsistence farming through the different levels of progress - production of surplus crops; specialization; engagement in trade; and establishment of the industry necessary to process and market the crops we grow.
#2: People
Highlights many of the factors that welded the American people into a "human resource". Traces the history of the work ethic and the concept of a "right to an education".
#3: Innovation
Studies America's practical problem-solving ability, from the earliest applications of "Yankee Ingenuity" to our modern research and development operations.
#4: Organization
"Captains of Industry" ... "robber barons" ... "union leaders"..."entrepreneurs". Going beyond the names and labels, one thing is definite: America's organizers were a major strength behind the shaping of our economy and our way of life.
#5: Government
Examines the economic impact of American government on the economy. Explores both good government - effective management at all levels, with citizens participating directly - and bad government - a distant authority imposing its will on individuals through inefficient bureaucracies.

Episode 1: Quest for a Homeland
Examines the events at Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico, that sparked a national movement for social justice. Focuses on the 1967 struggle by Mexican Americans to regain ownership of New Mexico lands guaranteed them by the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and then visits the landmark Denver Youth Conference in 1969, where hundreds of Mexican-American youth met to plan their national agenda. Concludes with the Chicano Moratorium march against the Vietnam War, held in East Los Angeles in 1970, an event that turned into a tragic riot resulting in the death of renowned journalist Ruben Salazar.
Episode 2: The Struggle in the Fields
Chronicles the efforts of farm workers to form a national labor union. Under the leadership of nonviolence advocate Cesar Chavez, farm workers launched a strike against California grape growers in 1965, demanding better working conditions and fair wages. In 1970, they undertook a national table grape boycott that eventually led to the first union contracts in farm labor history. An important milestone in the struggle was the passage of the California Labor Relations Act.
Episode 3: Taking Back the Schools
Documents the Mexican-American struggle to reform an educational system that failed to properly educate Chicano students, causing more than 50 percent to drop out, and leaving many others illiterate and unskilled. Focuses on the 1968 walkout by thousands of Mexican-American high school students in East Los Angeles, which resulted in conspiracy indictments against 13 community leaders -- each of them facing a possible sentence of 66 years! This event was emblematic of a national movement for improved educational opportunities.
Episode 4: Fighting for Political Power
Focuses on the emergence of Mexican-American political power and the creation of a third political party, La Raza Unida (The United People). Opens with the exodus of a large number of white citizens from Crystal City, Texas, following the election of five Mexican Americans to political office in the town. Shows how a protest against a high school cheerleading tradition (only one Mexican American per year!) escalated into a movement that pitted the Mexican-American population against the town's Anglo-American power structure. Although the idea of a third party eventually proved ineffectual, La Raza Unida inspired a generation of political activists and pioneered voter registration strategies that eventually led to the election of thousands of Chicanos to political office. |
