America's civil rights movement

Ain't gonna shuffle no more (1964-1972) : A call to pride and a renewed push for unity galvanizes Black Americans. Telling interviews with athletes, entertainers, and community participants chart Cassius Clay's challenge to America to accept him as Muslim Muhammad Ali, and his fight up to the Supreme Count...Howard University students' battle to bring their African heritage into the halls of learning...and the 1972 National Black Political Convention in Gary, IN, that set the stage for unprecedented black political participation. -- containerA nation of law? (1968-1971) : civil rights activists and government officials provide unprecedented insight into the sometimes violent and unethical response to black activism from local and federal law enforcement agencies. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover declares the Black Panthers the number one threat to internal security. Urban rebellion, campus unrest, and the killing of two Black Panther leaders result in a "law and order" crackdown that has tragic results at New York's Attica State Correctional Facility. -- container
