"Save The C hildren’’
Reverend Jesse Jackson,
the dynamic young president
of Operation PUSH (People
United to Save Humanity),
which was founded some 18
months ago as an outgrowth
of Operation Breadbasket,
which in turn sprang from
the Southern Christian Lea
dership Council, is delighted
that his organization will be
receivin g its b ig g est e x
posure to date with the re
lease of Paramount Pictures'
“Save the Children".
The film is a musical-cum-
documentarv coverage of the
Black Expo PUSH held in
Chicago, a five-day celebra
tion in which that city be
came, as Jackson calls it,
“the Black capital of the
world, with people coming
from all over to come home',
to 'come together'.”
Jackson says the'film cap
tures major Black performers
at their peak, contributing
their time and their talents
as an expression of their
belief in the Black cause.
“The best of our people came
home that week,” notes Jack
son.

As proud and enthusiastic
about “Save the Children" as
he is, Jackson also believes
the film is an important one,
both as a breakthrough ve
hicle for his people and also
as a strong positive counter
force to the current trend of
violence and negativism in
Black cinema. Regarding the
Black “image” in movies,
Jackson says, "we had the
image of Blacks as buffoons
and inferior people, and now
we have the image of Blacks
as superior -

through windows and not
getting cut, being shot with
machine guns and not dying,
being slicker than the law,
God and man."
“There are some things
about 'Save the Children'
that I think are very signifi
cant," Jackson continues.
