In-depth account of the famed abolitionist's 1859 attack on the U.S. arsenal at Harpers Ferry that ended the nation's last hopes of unity.

In 1962, Martin Luther King Jr. criticized Hoover's FBI for refusing to prosecute white supremacists who had burned down black churches in Albany, Georgia. Hoover took King's criticisms in the press as a personal insult. It was an offense that Hoover would never forget and led to him calling King "the most notorious liar in the country." J. Edgar Hoover was not a man to let things go. He ordered "his bureau" to investigate King, convinced that the civil rights activist was associated with something he--at the height of the Cold War--considered far more dangerous to the security of the nation than peaceful protests: Communism.

This one-hour documentary explores the key battles in the Civil Rights Movement that transformed American society--from the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955 to the Chicago Campaign which led to the Fair Housing Act of 1968. This special will uncover what it took to translate protest into real legislative change.

Selma, Alabama, March 7, 1965. A line of civil rights protestors crossed the Edmund Pettis Bridge on a march to the capital in Montgomery. Alabama State Troopers blocked their path, and the unprovoked brutality that followed shocked a nation and moved President Johnson to press for passage of a voting rights bill. We trace events leading up to "Bloody Sunday," draw on personal experiences, and provide a unique backdrop to one of America's most turbulent times.

An in-depth, sobering look at the tragic events of a century ago. The documentary focuses on a specific period, from the birth of Black Wall Street, to its catastrophic downfall over the course of two bloody days, and finally the fallout and reconstruction. Also follows the city's current-day grave excavation efforts at Oaklawn Cemetery where numerous unmarked coffins of victims who were killed and buried during the massacre have been recovered.

Looks back at decades of racial injustice in Los Angeles leading up to April 29, 1992. The story is told through a variety of voices from citizens, council members, law enforcement, rescuers, and even from those who committed crimes. The documentary provides a historical perspective through a contemporary lens drawing parallels between the racial injustices of our past and present.
