Meet the Press
Jacob Javits on Civil Rights
by
Meet the Press is a television news interview program built around direct questioning of prominent public figures. In this installment, Senator Jacob Javits discusses civil rights, bringing a national political issue into a focused conversation with journalists.
The program’s format centers on an interview rather than a dramatized story: reporters pose questions and the guest responds, explaining positions and addressing the issues of the day. The result offers a close listen to political argument and public affairs as they were discussed in 1960.
For listeners interested in civil rights history and American politics, this recording provides a concise encounter with Javits’s perspective in a journalistic setting. Its appeal lies in hearing a public figure engage with pointed questions about a consequential subject.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
