Elaine Race Massacre Documentary: Dr. Jeannie Whayne Lecture (Camera 2)
About this film
This video provides a wide shot of an auditorium where Dr. Whayne is delivering the conclusion of her lecture from a stage podium. She discusses how a historian's background influences their work, citing her own experiences growing up in Arkansas during the civil rights movement and witnessing mixed responses to integration. After she finishes her presentation and suggests a future conference for the 100th anniversary of the Elaine Race Massacre, the audience applauds. A man then takes over at the podium to facilitate questions, addressing an audience comment about a 1906 incident in Springfield, Missouri, where troops were used to suppress white rioters. The static camera captures the entire stage area and the front rows of the seated audience throughout the sequence.
