  • "Dramatization. One of a series of six programs depicting the lives of famous inventors through the eyes of young people. This segment portrays the life and times of Albert Einstein, the German-born physicist who developed the theory of relativity. He lived in the U.S. for the last 20 years of his life. Toward the end his career in 1953, Einstein was as famous a media figure as he was a scholar at Princeton. He helps a twelve-year-old African-American girl, Lannie, whose poor grades in school are due to her teacher's prejudice, remembering his own early struggles in Switzerland and his concern for the future of democracy in his adopted America. Lannie renews Einstein's spirit, and he gives her an awareness of her potential. Includes the effects of the McCarthy hearings on Einstein's life and that of his fellow scientists."

  • "In the early 1950s, during the McCarthy era, intellectuals were rounded up and questioned, and school desegregation did not automatically remove racial injustice. This story is about two people who are able to help each other under circumstances of prejudice, discrimination, and oppression. Albert Einstein's theories are introduced as he helps a 12-year-old African-American girl named Lannie. She, in her youthful thirst for knowledge, renews the spirit of the weary Einstein, and he helps Lannie to become aware of her potential."
