Early coverage includes the Harpers Ferry Rebellion and execution of John Brown. The stories then move to the civil rights movement and unrest in the 50s with the start of the High Court ban on school segregation. Extensive coverage is given to the civil right struggle throughout the 50s and 60s culminating in the 1968 Civil Rights Bill. Relive those momentous moments as they were reported at the time, including Martin Luther King’s conviction in 1956 for directing the school bus boycott, how 3,000 troops were needed to put down the Mississippi riots, how dogs and horses were used at demonstrators in Birmingham. Read about the 200,000 people who marched on Washington in 1963, Martin Luther King wining the Nobel Price for Peace and his tragic death, slain in Memphis in 1968.
