Local call number: V-40; CA133

Title: [The Torch of Friendship]

Date of film: Early 1960s

Physical descrip: Color; sound; original length: 14:50

General note: Excerpt of original film promoting the Hampton House Hotel in Miami, a business oriented to an African-American clientele. The film describes how notable black men and women of the 1960s gathered there, such as Ralph Metcalf (gold medalist, 1932 & 1936 Olympics), Althea Gibson (Wimbledon Champ), Martin Luther King Jr., singer Jackie Wilson, and baseball Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson. The film follows a formula similar to other promotional films, except almost everyone in it is black. The complete footage shows entertainment, the owners, a fashion show, dog and horse racing, the Miami Seaquarium, the Torch of Friendship, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, the Baltimore Orioles, and the FAMU Track team. Produced by Don Parisher.
