We the people. Episode 2, What price equality?
- "Americans have been struggling with the issue of equality since the Declaration of Independence. "We the people" meant something different to the framers of the Constitution than it does today. Two hundred years ago, slaves were property; women were not even mentioned. This program focuses on Yonkers, New York where more than a century after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, a federal court ruled that the city and school district violated the Constitution by denying equal protection of the laws and discriminating against minorities in housing and schools. Another segment was filmed in San Francisco where women sued for the right to join the city's all-male fire department."
