Overview

On February 25, 1966, an installment of CBS's critically acclaimed documentary series, CBS Reports, focused on the daily lives and dreams of teenagers growing up in Webster Groves, an affluent suburb south of St. Louis, Missouri. 16 in Webster Groves was followed, seven weeks later, by Webster Groves Revisited, an unprecedented though carefully planned defense of the contents and conclusion presented in the original telecast that incorporated the responses of Webster Groves' residents to their earlier portrayal and their rebuttal to the image of their community presented to the nation-at-large.
