We're live on City Line. Hi, I'm Jackie. And I'm Betty Bentley. What is it that enables one person to live after being brutally stabbed, shot or in a serious car accident? Today during this Thanksgiving holiday? We'll find out as we meet three individuals who survived life threatening situations and have much to be thankful for. What did they feel emotionally and physically when they were face to face with death? What gave them the force to overcome the odds of death? How have the traumas they lived through changed their meanings of life and death? Not closing schools in Baltimore County on Dr. King's birthday has created a community controversy. I'm Tim Monti. And today we'll take a look at that issue. Hi, I'm Harold Anthony. And today, along with saxophonist George Howard, I'll be filling you in on what's happening entertainment wise. So stay tuned for the entertainment page. And today on city Land, we'll take a look behind the scenes of Black Entertainment Television, which is in its sixth year of operation. Join us as we find out its formula for success. But first, we'll meet three survivors. We'll hear their chat. Tragic stories in the will to survive. Up next, live on City Line.

Happy to be here. Let's start with you, Abe. Tell us what happened to you and the incident that pretty much changed your life. Well, January the 20th, I was hit by a car. I was opening the door to my van and all of a sudden this car just ran into me and knocked me underneath the car. I didn't realize I was hit by the car until I grabbed my head. I thought I was was hit by a brick. And I looked up and I saw mufflers and tailpipes. So then I realized that I was I managed to raise up off the ground in a sitting position, and I started screaming. I screamed as loud as I could. And out of the clear blue sky, no one else around me. I heard a voice say, Stop. You don't have to scream anymore. I'm not gonna let you hurt. And I turned around, looked around. I said, Who said that? And I just kept saying that three or four times. Who do you think it was? It was God. But after that, my pain ceased, and I. Everything after that, I just took it. Just about every pain. Now, when you. When you looked down. At your yourself after the accident. What did you see? After the accident that I didn't see the thing. I just. What about your legs? What kind of condition were you when I looked at my legs. I saw my knee and my shoes and I couldn't find my legs. They were completely crushed. And that's that's what made me scream. I kept hollered, Where are my legs? Where are my legs? The lines were underneath the car malaise, the crest on the ground.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247#t=249.44,352.94"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247/transcript/48889/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I saw my pants were flat on the ground. And I just started screaming. But by this time, you weren't feeling any pain. Not this time. After I heard, the voice said, I'm not going to let you hurt. I didn't feel anything after that. And when you went into the hospital, I mean that I was conscious the whole time I got into the emergency room. And then if they asked me a bunch of questions and I talked to everybody in one of the notices, why are you smiling? I said, I'm not hurting. But I was in such bad shape. But they couldn't understand why I would be smiling when I should be screaming. Judge Michael Lee, you had a very different experience. Could you share that with us? Well, basically, I was involved in a criminal assault in the course of a robbery. I was attacked and received six stab wounds to the chest. Sustained injuries to the parking lot. That, in fact, was left for dead. And indeed, I fully accepted this fact that I would not survive. But fortunately I did and underwent open heart surgery and a period of recuperation. What what gave you the will to survive? Well, I think a couple of things. One, initially, while the incident was going on, I fully accepted that I would not survive, but I was determined that my assailants would not get away with this and that I would live long enough to be able to identify who they were. And once I had accomplished that and discovered to my surprise that I was still living, I said, Well, in that case, I might as well try to keep that part going. And I basically just discovered throughout this experience that to my surprise, I was able to remain completely calm throughout it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247#t=353.27,468.34"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247/transcript/48889/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And I think that was because I was at peace with myself and with my God, and I was prepared to accept what was there and and then to move forward. And so when I discovered that I was still living well, having survived an attack by someone who was intending to take my life, I certainly wasn't going to just give up and surrender it on my own, but had to work to hold on to it and to and to rebuild it. Okay. Now let's talk to our third guest. Who is Jane? Jane? Tell us your story. What happened to you? Okay. I was involved in a criminal attack also. I was shot in the back of the head. It happened on a Sunday evening, I believe. My body wasn't found until the next day. Some of the incidents that took place during the attack. Well, I don't remember the attack in the hospital. I had a dream and I was told by my family members that that is what actually happened. Someone came into the house, told me and my friend to lie on the floor, face down, and he shot us. He left and just took everything that belonged to us. And what about your friend? My friend did not survive, but I did. And was your recuperative period very long? Very difficult. Okay. It to me, it was not difficult because I don't really have any recollection of the whole thing. I was unconscious for about two weeks. And when I came to, I, you know, I looked around. I'm in a hospital. Hey, what am I doing here? And the nurse told me what happened. I didn't believe her. And I kept trying to find out what happened. I just did not believe it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247#t=468.94,612.93"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247/transcript/48889/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"So part of it has been blacked out for you?

I also believe that it's been blocked out for my protection. I don't think that I would have made it out or I would have recovered as well as I have if I had all those negative details to dwell upon. We thank the three of you for sharing your stories with us. We have more to talk about with you because we feel that your stories are profiles in courage. We're going to take a break and come back and continue the stories. Talking about the city line. I was talking with three very special people about the will to survive and their ability to survive. We'd also like to invite you at home to participate in the discussion by calling in at 481 1313. The three of you went to extremely traumatic experiences, a car accident, two criminal assaults, stabbings and so forth. Do you feel that there was any more spiritual recognition on your part after the incidents that occurred than before? I do. At the moment I was hit, I knew I was going to survive because that in my mind, after I heard that voice, that I was going to be all right. I knew that I was going to survive this whole ordeal. How did you know that, Faith? I had the I had the faith before the accident, but that you would born out of the voice, really brought out the faith.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247#t=613.74,807.21"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247/transcript/48889/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And I knew from that moment on my legs would be okay. Well, I guess the most overwhelming change for me was simply a recognition of a different set of priorities in life. You see, when something like this happens, you don't plan it. It's not in your calendar. It suddenly happens and boom, everything you were doing comes to a halt. And, you know, I can recall being too weak to turn myself my own bed, let alone people to get up and move on to things. And so now I appreciate the small things in life. And the rat race is just not where it's at, folks. I've discovered that relationships with your family and important friends and taking the time to live and to think and and to enjoy nature in life, that's what's really important. How about you, Jane? Do you feel a more spirituality in yourself before or after the incident? Yeah, well, now I'm really I say I'm more in touch with God. I, I really do believe that along with my will, to survive, just that God. Really. This was all in his plan. That this whole thing. Any particular reason, do you think? Well, one thing, um, the nature of the, um, the injury and I, I, I wasn't found until the next day. I think that that really means something that I survived. I mean, who kept me alive for all those many hours with an injury as severe as that? No human did it. And so it had to be something bigger. It had to be something bigger. And we ask all three of you, did you ever ask during these painful periods, Why me, Lord? Why me? Sure. In all candor, I still do on occasion. I look back on it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247#t=808.2,940.5"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247/transcript/48889/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"But, you know, I don't dwell on that because the fact is it happened. And what I thought about is this negative occurrences will happen in life over and over again. Disappointments. Some will say no to something you want. Frustration will come about. Tragedy will come about. I wouldn't want to relive that experience, but I know it won't be the last negative thing to happen in my life that's going to happen. The question is, how do we respond to it? What do we do with it? Can we grow from these experiences? And I think that's where the emphasis should be. Did you ever ask? I never thought for one minute, why me? I just thought the whole of deal with this is something that happened in my life, and it's up to me to put it back together again. And this is, you know, certainly still a very painful experience, I would imagine, for all three of you. Does it does it help to talk about it? Do you think that others who might have suffered, if not similar incidents, similar coming face to face with God? Does it help to talk about It does help to talk about it because I have helped a lot of people in the hospital, like going to rooms, different rooms, talking to people who have completely given up on themselves. And sometimes I know somebody looking for me. They once at one one particular time, they had to call my name on the P.A. system because they couldn't find me.

Would you agree with me that that the most important initial question is that the person not give up? Right. As long as you don't get it wrong as you have in your mind, I must do what the doctor say. Put my trust in the doctors, put my trust in God, and just put pull through the whole ordeal. Jane, is it easier for you to talk about it now than it was any time before? Oh, yes. It's much easier for me to talk about it now. Time has really been a friend, and I remember in the beginning I could not talk about it. I mean, I just fall apart. And this went on for maybe about the first year of my recovery. And I just simply could not talk about it. I. I do believe that God does not put anything on you that you cannot handle. It was really rough, but God knew I could deal with it. My personality, the way that I am. Pull me through. If I had not had this will, I would have given up throughout the whole ordeal. And I never dwelled on anything negative and I never let anything stop me. And I had a lot of support from friends and family. We want to get into that. I would imagine that that's very critical to your coming back to a very positive state.

Never. They went by that my family wouldn't come to see me and my friends and my father just came every twice a day, sometimes just to make sure that I didn't need a thing. Absolutely. My parents nursed me back to health. When I left the hospital, I went back home to be by parents for a while and my brothers and everyone.

The most beautiful, lengthy, detailed letters about about me and things I had said and done. And if I had never gotten the job, that tremendous boost to my morale, that point would have been reward enough. But then on top of all of that, thanks to these wonderful people. Within a very few weeks after that, the governor called and told me that I received the appointment. Fantastic. Okay, let's take another call from home. Hi. CALLER. You're on state line. Yeah.

Judge Lee, what about you now? You were involved in a criminal attack, and it's a little bit different from a situation. Did you find yourself distrusting people, not knowing who to talk to and who not to after that? Well, there was some of that, not with very close friends and close relatives, but I would have to say, in all candor, one reaction to this is to shut yourself off. And initially I couldn't walk into a supermarket. But that gradually changed. And now I think I've reached a happy medium where I'm not completely trusting and to the point of naivete. On the other hand, while exercising some caution, I can talk to people, can relate to others. And Jane. Yes. In general. Well, in the beginning I had lost trust, but as time went on, I gained trust in everybody. But now and then I would feel kind of funny sometimes. Certain things would make me feel like somebody is getting ready to get a weapon and use it on me. If if it would get quiet, get still dark and somebody was doing something.

Well, first, let me point out that our chief judge of the Orphans Court, which deals with probate estates and guardianship of minors, we don't handle any criminal cases, so I don't have the opportunity to sentence people. Let me also point out that if I were in a criminal court, I would have to do to divorce my own experience because I'm trying to size up each case on its own merits on the basis of the evidence in that case.

We've touched on it a wee bit, but how long did it take? How painful was it? How costly? Well, my therapy was more like fun to me. I love exercise. And when the thirst is to tell me to do to push a leg, raise exercise, I would do for that because I knew I wanted my legs to become strong, stronger than what they were before. So they had no trouble with me. How long a period did therapy take? Oh, from the time I was in the hospital with a current. And so it's been about six months now. Judge Lee I would say the worst part of the recuperation lasted about six weeks, and then it was about a year before I was really back into the swing and up to close to 100%. I had occupational therapy and a hospital and that went on for about about a week or two, and I did. It was like I was involved in classroom activity, school work. But one time I did go into the kitchen. I was given a recipe to prepare, and I did that very well. I made brownies. They were good and that was fun. I enjoyed it.

Topping today's news cap, it was 30 years ago this week that blacks at Montgomery, Alabama, following the lead of Mrs. Rosa Parks and led by the reverend martin luther king jr. Launched a major bus boycott that literally electrified the nation. That yearlong boycott of busses by Montgomery Blacks was one of the early challenges to Jim Crow laws in the American South.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247#t=2122.02,2323.99"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247/transcript/48889/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"The law requiring blacks to sit in the back of public busses was eventually struck down by the US Supreme Court, and the structure of laws under which color segregation was practiced was eventually dismantled and done away with.

The meeting was the first since last Tuesday when a federal mediator intervened in the negotiations two weeks ago. About 150 employees or one fifth of Providence entire workforce or laid off, according to a report by Money magazine.

The report reveals that by the year 2000, for the first time in American history, minorities and women will climb the ladder of success at a rate faster than white men. Last week on Cityline, we reported that Baltimore County schools would remain open during the observance of Martin Luther King's national holiday this January. That decision has the entire community buzzing and the ACP upset. But why has the county school system decided to stay open in the face of mounting opposition? How do school officials feel about that decision? Joining me now to discuss those feelings and the position of school officials is Anthony Mancini, deputy superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools. Mr. Marshall, thank you for joining us this afternoon. Yes, the federal holiday for Dr. King's birthday is being recognized on January the 20th. The state holiday is January the 15th. Why, then, has the Baltimore County School system decided not to recognize either one of those dates and remain open during the observance of Dr. King's birthday? Our Board of Education and superintendent staff have taken the position that we can honor Martin Luther King, but more appropriately, by having students remain in school and having special programs which to which they can attend.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247#t=2324.71,2450.83"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247/transcript/48889/annotation/18","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"But there are numerous community activities and numerous programs planned throughout the state for that day for the purpose of having families come together to join and remember Dr. King. What does the school board or how do school officials feel about not allowing the family concept, which is the EP's argument, this family element, to come together in observance of Dr. King's birthday? They're saying that you're interrupting with that processor last year. Maybe I can explain what we did in our schools by having special programs in each school, and we invited public officials and parents to the schools. Each school has a planning committee which develops a program in which many, many students in the school are involved and all the students participate. And we had many parents who attended those programs. What is your reaction, Mr. Bashir, to all of the controversy surrounding the school board's decision in Baltimore County not to close? You've got the community talking about it. You've got the NAACP upset about it. Mr. Bell, who is superintendent of Baltimore County School, said himself Friday in a conversation that I had with him that if Dr. King were alive today, he surely would be distraught over all of the negative controversy surrounding his holiday and Baltimore County schools not closing. What's your reaction to that? We feel and I feel very bad about the controversy because we've been working very hard in Baltimore County public schools in recent years to improve race relations. We've we've developed many programs to have the two races work together. And this kind of controversy certainly is very, very upsetting in the light of this mounting controversy. Mr. Marciano, is it at all possible that the school board would reconsider its decision not to close schools on January the 15th or the 20th, whichever day you chose to observe it?

Harold Anthony is up next. Jack and betty will be back shortly. Stay with us. Those were three inspiring stories. It was great people. Yeah. And it gives us all something to think about, for sure. Yeah. What's coming up next? Well, I had an opportunity recently to visit behind the scenes at Black Entertainment Television. A lot of folks in Baltimore have never heard of Betty, but Betty is a black cable network that is in its sixth year of operations. I had a chance to talk to Bob Johnson, who is the founder and president of Betty and find out exactly what they're about and what's on the horizon for them. Let's take a look. Entertainment Television. We're coming on for you. We're coming on with more music, more sports, more family entertainment and more exciting reasons for you to stay tuned 24 hours a day to beat you because we're coming on for you. Since January 1988, Black Entertainment Television has been coming on with two major goals to become the major distributor of black oriented programing for cable television and to become the major medium that advertisers use to target the black consumer market. It began as a concept created by Bob Johnson, founder and president of B.E.T. And the market, the nation's 27 million black Americans.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247#t=2680.92,2859.02"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247/transcript/48889/annotation/21","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We looked at it as a as a way to provide programing to an audience that was underserved with regular television, an audience that watched a lot of television and an audience that represented a significant income to advertisers. And so other cable services were after the same viewers who were already had enough television. We were active viewers who didn't have television to appeal to their interests. And so that's why we felt we could succeed. Bet. 24 hour a day programing schedule offers 18 hours of music videos, largely featuring black singers and musicians. The balance of the schedule includes black college sports, gospel shows. Talk shows and those rare old films. This is a set of video saw One of Betty's most popular programs is here that hosts Donny Simpson interviews and co-hosts some of the entertainment world's most popular personalities. Is that not true? No more so than I happened to be very, very good friends like brother and sister. Oh. Achingly so. Achingly so real. Not lovers. No, no, no. We currently produce out of a 24 hour day. I would say that about 16 hours out of the day on the original produce program and much of it in video music, though we're going to maintain our strong commitment to other contemporary music videos because music is such an important part of Black Entertainment life. We've got to improve our public affairs programing and expand that, and we're also beginning to acquire some programing produced out in Los Angeles, in Hollywood. One of the problems that Johnson faces is that many urban cities are not as yet wired for cable TV. This is where the highest concentration of blacks live the large inner cities. And then there are the other problems. Johnson believes that one of the biggest stumbling blocks to rapid growth of BET is the attitude of most cable operators.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247#t=2860.04,2990.26"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105487/file/206247/transcript/48889/annotation/22","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"For example, right now here in Baltimore County, where I think there is a tremendous population, both black and white, who want to see Black Entertainment Television, the cable company refuses to put the service on. We have similar problems like that around the country. We think it's a disservice to the black community. It's a disservice to the white community, for that matter, for not providing them an opportunity to see diversity at work on television. But other than that, we've been a success in spite of that, I might say. What's that you're cooking? What's it smell like? It may not be what it smells like. Black Entertainment Television is approaching its sixth year of programing, with high expectations as cable penetrates the remaining major urban markets within the next few years. You can bet that bet will be coming on for black audiences across the country with the kind of programs they've been waiting for. All right. But I want to know one thing. How can the local viewers get a chance to see the city? Well, certainly it's up to the viewers to let the cable operators know who it is that they want to see and put the pressure on them so that they are bringing the service to their neighborhood so that the old cards and letters. Oh, yes, sir. By the way, Bob, I think there's a lot of great things that BP has on the horizon. So it says keep an eye on it. Fantastic. From that entertainment to our own entertainment with Harold.

How does a musical protege who started playing the clarinet when he was six at the Philadelphia Fame Settlement School? He studied there until he was 15, learning to play all the read instruments, but deciding along the way that he liked the soprano.

You know, but then, I mean, who the hell am I? I mean, you come out with one record and I say, Don't compare me. You know, you're in your space in this business and you let your music speak for itself. I feel that there's a difference between Grover and myself and a lot of similarities between Grover and myself. But the similarities come in the fact that we play saxophone. We have to make a statement through the same format. I'm out here in long around here. And as long as I'm new to most people, which I am.
