African-Americans: Marching to Freedom

"The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line." These prophetic words of W. E. B. DuBois in 1900 were to echo through a century of Jim Crow segregation, denial of voting rights, public lynching, KKK rallies, lunch counter sit-ins, police brutality, Black Panther militancy, urban riots, forced busing, and brave marches in the streets of Selma and Washington, D.C. This ABC News program anchored by Peter Jennings traces the rise of the Civil Rights movement—and of a black political consciousness, born on the tenant farms of the old South, that resulted in 1995’s Million-Man March. (54 minutes)
