America's Long March (1x3)

Fecha de emisión: Mar 03, 1996

President Johnson's Voting Rights Act of was the most far-reaching legislation of his term of office. But blacks in the ghettos saw few improvements in their quality of life, leading to riots, racial tensions, a white backlash and the murder in 1968 of Dr Martin Luther King. Wheeler examines how those events have shaped politics today and looks at Louis Farrakhan, the radical leader of the Nation of Islam.
