"If you should catch love lurking about within you, kill it."

Legendary couple and civil rights activists Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee deliver a raw performance from THIRTEEN's 1965 broadcast of "Creative Person." Written by Davis, "The Ghetto" explores the grueling psychological toll of oppression. A couple debates whether love can truly thrive—or even survive—in a world built on hatred and poverty.
