Dr. Walter Williams' 1985 PBS documentary Good Intentions based on his book, "The State Against Blacks (1982)". The documentary was very controversial at the time it was released and led to many animosities and even threats of murder. In "Good Intentions", Professor Williams examines the failure of the war on poverty and the devastating effect of well meaning government policies on blacks asserting that the state harms people in the U.S. more than it helps them.
