– video made by the YouTube channel with the logo in the video’s upper left hand corner. OaklandNewsNow.com is the original blog post for this type of video-blog content.This Saturday morning, BlackTreeTV honors the incomparable Cicely Tyson with Sounder (1972), a timeless classic that earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. Cicely Tyson, who would have turned 80 on December 19, 2024, remains a legendary figure in film and television. Her groundbreaking performances continue to inspire audiences worldwide, and Sounder is widely regarded as one of her most powerful and enduring roles. Set during the Great Depression, Sounder tells the poignant story of a poor Black sharecropping family struggling to survive in rural Louisiana. Cicely Tyson stars as Rebecca Morgan, the matriarch who holds her family together with resilience and strength after her husband (played by Paul Winfield, also Oscar-nominated for this film) is imprisoned for stealing food to feed their children. The family’s loyal dog, Sounder, becomes a symbol of hope and perseverance as they navigate hardship and injustice. Directed by Martin Ritt, Sounder received widespread acclaim, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, and features powerful performances from Kevin Hooks and Taj Mahal, who also contributed to the film’s unforgettable soundtrack. This heartfelt story of love, survival, and the enduring human spirit continues to resonate with audiences today.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the YouTube video channel for BlackTree TV uploads a video it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
