Madison in the Sixties – the film the UW suppressed. In the summer of 1960, local NAACP president Lloyd Barbee wanted to expose housing discrimination in the Madison rental market. So he proposed to the University of Wisconsin-Extension Bureau of Audio- Visual Instruction that instructor Stuart Hanisch produce a film to be called “To Find a Home.” Barbee and Hanisch explained to BAVI director Professor Fredrick A. White and Extension dean L. H. Adolfson that a group of Black and white actors posing as would- be renters would respond to apartment listings around Madison; Hanisch would use hidden microphones and a telephoto lens to capture any landlords telling the Black and white testers different stories about a unit’s availability. White and Adolfson approved the project, and in July 1961, the regents accepted $3,000 which Barbee raised towards the film’s $4,000 budget.
