The following segments are included:
0:00:01: U.S. Air Force graduation ceremony, possibly at Gunter Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama. (Notes accompanying the original film identify the event as "Gunter graduation.")
0:01:48: Senator Ollie Nabors speaking about a filibuster to prevent passage of a conditional educational appropriations bill: "Some of us are concerned that there is $26,000,000 being appropriated in a conditional appropriation and in those conditional appropriates there are monies for special interest projects that we oppose to. We feel like that the money that is available or possibly will be available should go to the existing institutions in the state and 65% at least should go to public education."
0:03:04: Congressman Tom Bevill discussion recent legislation he sponsored in the U.S. House of Representatives "which will make it a felony for a citizen of this country to go into a foreign country and advocate the overthrow of the government of the United States." He specifically mentions "black power advocate Stokely Carmichael."
0:03:57: Colonel Willis Davis speaking at a Civitan Club luncheon in Montgomery, Alabama, on August 18, 1967. Davis was a native of Gordo, Alabama.
0:05:02: U.S. Air Force graduation ceremony, possibly at Gunter Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama. (Notes accompanying the original film identify the event as "Gunter graduation.") Some of the footage is silent.
0:06:45: Interview about the choice of Selma, Alabama, as the filming location for the movie adaptation of "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter." The novel, written by Carson McCullers and 1940, was set in Columbus, Georgia, but that city did not have enough suitable sites: "They have selected Selma not because of any other reason other than it affords them a place that they can shoot the scenes in the proper locality." Also included is footage of a residential street and a cemetery.
0:07:56: Demonstration of the Westinghouse Cachalot Saturation Diving System. The footage is silent.
0:09:02: Judge Perry Hooper Sr. discussing the new microfilm record system at the county probate court in Montgomery, Alabama.
0:12:00: Colonel C. W. Russell, director of the Alabama Department of Public Safety, speaking about the high number of traffic accidents and fatalities that had recently occurred: "When have you read a driver's manual? Or have you ever read one? I suggest if you haven't read one lately, you get one and study it very carefully. I believe you will be a better driver if you will. Let's make every effort to be a better driver and a sober driver."
0:12:39: Introduction of color news film at WFSA in Montgomery, Alabama. The segment, dated August 21, 1967, includes the delivery and operation of the film processing equipment.
0:14:20: Peanut production and processing in Coffee County, Alabama. The segment, presented by WSFA reporter Bob Inman, includes interviews about the year's local peanut harvest, as well as shots of the Boll Weevil Monument in downtown Enterprise; peanuts in the field; and the Sessions processing plant in Enterprise.
0:20:30: Midnight session of the Senate at the Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama, which began at 12:01 a.m. on August 22, 1967. Issues discussed include the "teacher choice" bill, which would allow parents to choose the race of their children's teachers, and a resolution requiring state-supported schools to fly the Confederate flag. Among those visible are Ollie Nabors, George Bailes, McDowell Lee, Roland Cooper, Eddie Gilmore, and Stewart O'Bannon, who speaks at the end of the clip: "And one of my grandfathers could take the great distinction of being on the [1901] constitutional convention committee, which messed up the state of Alabama. And I'm down here trying to straighten it out, but I am sick and tired of resolutions to fly flags. I thought that I served in the Army so people could do, within the realm of reason, those things that they wanted to do."
0:22:55: Senators Bob Harris and Roland Cooper debating the "teacher choice" bill, which would allow parents to choose the race of their children's teachers.
0:24:45: City commission meeting in Montgomery, Alabama. Mayor Earl D. James is seated in the center. The footage is silent.
0:25:15: Senator Fred C. Folsom speaking on the floor of the Senate chamber at the Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama. Though he does not specifically name the proposed legislation he refers to in the clip, it is likely the "teacher choice" bill, which would allow parents to choose the race of their children's teachers. (Notes accompanying the original film identify this segment as "Folsom schools.")
0:25:59: Midnight session of the Senate at the Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama, which began at 12:01 a.m. on August 22, 1967. Though the footage is mostly silent, the senators appear to be discussing the "teacher choice" bill, which would allow parents to choose the race of their children's teachers. Among those visible are George Bailes, Tom Radney, Albert Brewer, Albert Turner, Roland Cooper, and Fred Folsom.
0:26:44: Tine W. Davis donating $25,000 to Alabama Christian College in Montgomery, Alabama. Davis, president of Winn Dixie of Montgomery Inc., gives the check to Dr. Rex A. Turner, president of the college; also present are Jimmy Faulkner, chairman of the school's board, and H. O. Davis and Elizabeth Wright, both member of the school's Big Gifts Committee. The footage is silent.
0:27:18: Kiwanis Club meeting at the Whitley Hotel in Montgomery, Alabama. The footage is silent.
0:28:09: Interview with Charles Glasscock, Marty Johnson, and Stan Trott on the campus of Sidney Lanier High School in Montgomery, Alabama. All three were part of the state track team that would compete in Des Moines, Iowa, on August 25 and 26, 1967. The footage is silent.
