  • "The law has been used as both a tool for change and resistance to change, particularly in its relation to education. Public schools became a battle field when blacks rejected the notion of "separate but equal" education. This episode explores the lawsuits brought by parents on behalf of their children with special emphasis on the critical 1954 Supreme Court Brown vs. Board of Education decision. Viewers follow the story of nine black teenagers who integrated Little Rock's Central High School in 1957. This is compared with James Meredith's enrollment at the University of Mississippi in 1962. The program identifies the national organizations involved in the struggle to integrate schools, describing the leaders and their strategies and how they affected the freedom struggle."

  • "Second in a six-part documentary series on the American civil rights movement. This episode follows the struggle for equality from the schoolroom to the courtroom and back as blacks rejected the existing system of "separate but equal" education. In 1954, the Supreme Court also rejected the system with its historic decision, Brown vs. Board of Education. The legal battle won, in 1957 nine black teenagers called the Little Rock Nine dared to integrate a high school in Little Rock, Ark. In 1962, a resolute James Meredith enrolled at the University of Mississippi. Students, parents, and lawyers united to guarantee a better education and a better future for their children."@en
