This episodes tells the story of how in the 1950s and 60s, Birmingham, Alabama, was one of the most racially segregated places in the U.S. People around the world were shocked when they learned of church bombings and saw photos and news footage of police turning their dogs on black teenagers or firemen aiming their hoses at protesters who were marching peacefully downtown. It was a watershed moment in the Civil Rights movement not only in Alabama, but for the country.
It features Sarah Collins Rudolph, Reverend Arthur Price, Dan Carter, Brenna Wynn Greer, Sekou Franklin, Frye Gaillard, Mills Thornton, Dorothy Walker, and Glenn Eskew.
