Loved this quote:

"The people leading the protests were not famous, and no one thought any of the students supporting them would ever be running for president. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr later said that he decided to come to Chicago in 1966 (the first northern expansion of his protests in the south) because of the success of Chicago’s school desegregation demonstrations in 1963-1965."

Should be taught in the history books, as well as mentioned on television.

Thank goodness for femmedem and DU.

The attacks on his civil rights record by some partisan Clinton supporters are depraved and scurrilous.

had failed, and why, the RW propaganda would not have caught on.

"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride!"

Kudos to these filmmakers!
