In this program, black and white civil rights activists from Jackson, Mississippi, reunite at Tougaloo Chapel to discuss the changes in race relations brought about over four decades. Archival footage sets the scene as the Reverend Ed King, SNCC’s Bob Moses, and others share, for the first time on film, exclusive personal accounts of the bloody Woolworth sit-in, the murder of Medgar Evers, the Freedom Summer Project, the revocation of TV station WLBT’s broadcasting license, and other pivotal events. They lived the struggle in the ’60s, and it lives in them today. A powerful addition to any library of civil rights materials. A Discovery Channel Production. (46 minutes)
