Integration Report, due to the ongoing story of Civil Rights in America, was supposed to be a series of programs half an hour or longer each, but funding to produce a second and a third installment could not be obtained at the time.
Madeline Anderson as recognized by the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture:
"Pioneering filmmaker and television producer Madeline Anderson is often credited as being the first black woman to produce and direct a televised documentary film (Integration Report 1 ), the first black woman to produce and direct a syndicated TV series, the first black employee at New York-based public television station WNET, and one of the first black women to join the film editor's union.
Anderson would go on to become the in-house producer and director for Sesame Street and The Electric Company for the Children's Television Workshop. During the early 1970s, she also helped create what would become WHUT-TV at Howard University, the country's first, and only, black-owned public television station."
