Local note
  1. Former archival original: *MGZTCO 3-1195 no. 11, sides A and B.
  2. Preservation master: *MGZTP 4-1195 nos. 13 and 14.
  3. Dubbing master: *MGZTD 4-1195 nos. 13 and 14.
  4. Sound quality: Content in part difficult to comprehend due to speakers' use of visual aids such as films and slides. The cassettes from which the Dance Black America festival were preserved contain gaps, abrupt starts and stops, unrelated material, and material that is out of sequence. In addition, the audibility, especially of questions taken from the audience, is often poor.
