"Congo Baskets" being woven by African Americans in the Sea Islands of South Carolina

Film opens showing members of an African American family seated on the porch of their house in the Cooper River District of South Carolina. They are all engaged, including the father, in weaving, what in those days were called, "Congo Baskets." (The grass used by these basket makers is indigenous to the Cooper River District, and not found elsewhere. But the same type of baskets are made in various parts of Lowcountry Africana, associated with the Geechee-Gullah culture in the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia.) As the basket makers work, a man, with a pig on a leash, walks slowly past the busy family. In the next scene, while others continue working on their baskets, the man deftly cuts Palmetto leaves into strips that are used to sew the baskets. Next, the camera focuses on individual workers showing their dexterity and skill as they work. In the final scene, the man examines and displays finished baskets of several different designs.

Former U.S. President Herbert Hoover delivers an enthusiastic speech to the Republican National Convention, during the Great Depression. Speaking out against Democratic Party New Deal programs under President Roosevelt, former President Hoover says "For the first time in the history of America, we have heard the gospel of class hatred preached from the White House." He goes on to speak against high government spending and the increase in the U.S. national debt. He states that the number unemployed is the same as at the time of the 1932 election. He wonders "what is going to be done after the election with these measures which the Constitution forbids, and the people by their votes have never authorized? What do the New Dealers propose to do with these unstable currencies, these unbalanced budgets, these debts and these taxes?" He goes on to say "our system is a government of laws and not of men. And the Republican party holds to its promises and its laws." Huge applause in the public auditorium. The NBC, MBS, CBS networks broadcast his speech.
