They Were There: Remembering The Civil Rights Movement

Frontline figures in the Civil Rights Movement reflect on their experiences, their colleagues and where America now stands on the issue of race in a series of NewsHour conversations and discussions. Included are conversations with Dorothy Height, Vernon Jordan and John Lewis about their memoirs and remembrances of the March on Washington, Rosa Parks and Hamilton Holmes. This collection also features a 1997 interview with Ruby Bridges, who in 1960, at 6-years old, became the first African American child to desegregate an elementary school.
