- Kathleen Newman, Professor of English at Carnegie Mellon University, delivers a talk entitled, "Striking Images: Workers on Screen and in the Streets in the 1950's."

She says that workers have commonly been portrayed as dolts and that this perspective has effectively silenced the American majority. She provides several examples of this marginalization of the working class in television and movies and talks extensively about the film, "On The Waterfront". Newman answers questions from the audience. She is introduced by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck.
