Title:
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Montgomery to Memphis (clip)

Description:
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. rose to national prominence in the mid-1950s as a result of his courageous leadership in a struggle against bus segregation in Montgomery, Ala. Influenced by his example, and often under his active guidance, a mass movement developed to oppose the pervasive system of segregation in the South. This program is a memorable introduction to the civil rights movement, and to a nation-changing period of history that came to a tragic close in April 1968 with Dr. King's assassination in Memphis. Produced by Dan McCarroll. 27 minutes, black and white. direct link to purchase video: http://www.phoenixlearninggroup.com/Products/VideoDetail.aspx?id=768b4a03-7a14-4436-980e-0db3fb32bb10&cat=&sub=997b3489-7176-4e40-a32b-295e4d7b4704
