PBS Videotapes: America at the Racial Crossroads – 1965 to 1985
These videos may be checked out for viewing. This six part series, 2.5 years in the making, is the most comprehensive television documentary on the American Civil Rights Movement ever produced. Through rare historical film and incisive present-day interviews, the events and issues of the second American Revolution come to life. Return to the streets, churches, courts and schools where the struggle raged. Meet the people who challenged the system and changed history. Relive the pain, the protest, the sacrifice and triumph of the grass roots struggle for racial equality.
