Probably the most important thing to know about this documentary is that it attempts to deal with both the sit-ins and the Little Rock Nine in eighteen minutes. The sit-in segment is limited to the Nashville movement and features interviews with Diane Nash and John Lewis. The former high school students Melba Pattilo Beals and Terrence Roberts comment on the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957. |
