Synopsis
A record of a 3-month period in the history of the Newark Community Union Project, a community organizing movement in the black ghetto of Newark, New Jersey. During this time, the N.C.U.P. emerges as an adjunct of the Students for a Democratic Society; an attempt is made to obtain the enforcement of the housing code in a particular building; an effort is undertaken to move the city authorities to install a traffic light at a dangerous intersection; and the N.C.U.P. participates in a local political campaign. The frustrations of the community residents are made clear as the efforts of the N.C.U.P. meet with continual checks.
