WQED’s Black Horizons Special Collection on the AAPB

About

This video introduces the WQED Black Horizons digital archive, now available through the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB). Viewers learn about the program’s history as one of the first minority affairs series on public television, produced from 1968 to 2010, and its role in giving space to Black voices, culture, and issues for more than four decades. The overview explains the scope of the series, which includes over 600 episodes featuring community issues, performances, and conversations with notable guests. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find the Black Horizons Special Collection on the AAPB website and what features are available within it. Viewers see where to access the series description, links to featured episodes, and tools for browsing the collection. The video also shows how to open an individual record, agree to the viewing terms, and use the media player to begin watching an episode.
