"Busing, Maynard Jackson, Affirmative Action. From the streets of South Boston to Atlanta's city hall to the Supreme court, Americans sought remedies for the problems of discrimination."
"Examines several efforts to establish integration or affirmative action programs."
"Examines the relationship between law and popular struggle. In Boston, busing was proposed as a means of integrating the schools. White parents reacted violently to the idea of having their children bused to schools in other neighborhoods, and to black children being bused in. In Atlanta, mayor Maynard Jackson, the city's first black mayor, used affirmative action to guarantee Black involvement in construction of the city's new airport. Affirmative action did not go unchallenged, as Alan Bakke took his "reverse discrimination" suit against the University of California all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court."
""The keys to the kingdom, 1974-1980" shows how antidiscrimination legal rights gained in past decades are put to the test. School desegregation orders are violently resisted in Boston and the Bakke Supreme Court case challenges a policy of affirmative action."
""Back to the movement" shows Miami's Black community exploding in rioting, but in Chicago, a grassroots movement triumphs - Harold Washington is elected the city's first Black mayor. Concludes with a review of the people who made the civil rights movement a force for change."
"Eyes on the prize is the most critically acclaimed documentary on civil rights in America. Episode 13: In the 1970s, antidiscrimination legal rights gained in past decades by the civil rights movement are put to the test. In Boston, some whites violently resist a federal court school desegregation order. Atlanta's first black mayor, Maynard Jackson, proves that affirmative action can work, but the Bakke Supreme Court case challenges that policy."
"Famous and lesser-known participants recount the remedies used to solve the problems of discrimination in schools and the workplace. For blacks and whites in Boston, court-ordered busing proves an unpopular means of integrating schools. Atlanta's first black mayor, Maynard Jackson pursues affirmative action to help combat the city's poverty rate. The Bakke Supreme Court case challenges affirmative action when a white man sues a university on grounds of "reverse discrimination."@en
