Second American Revolution, Part 2

• 1984 ----- color ----- 58 min ----- vhs
• (Walk through the 20th Century with Bill Moyers, A series, Part 8) In American history 1954 becomes a clarifying point of convergence--a point from which we can see important roads leading--bringing the Supreme Court's decision to outlaw racial segregation in the schools of the United States. Bill Moyers, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee join to tell the story of how the New Deal, World War II and postwar social changes set the stage for the Black legal assault on the fortresses of segregation. Shows how the victory of 1954 sparked a decade of continuing nonviolent revolution that culminated in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. (Deposited by Chevron U.S.A.)
