This program begins with Lincoln Ragsdale promoting a calendar documenting "great Negroes" that Hartwell Ragsdale Jr. researched and produced. He goes on to provide a brief history of the Ragsdale funeral businesses in Oklahoma and Arizona. He is followed by Eleanor Ragsdale, who reflects on her memories of the Great Depression and growing up near a cemetery; the minister's calling to preach and work for the greater good; and making significant life decisions. Next, Austin Coleman and Lincoln Ragsdale discuss the feasibility of establishing and integrating the Universal Memorial Center and the process of integrating other Ragsdale businesses. The program ends with Austin Coleman summarizing a resolution to encourage the construction of the Universal Memorial Center on the principles of integration and brotherhood.
