In 1955, an African-American woman Rosa Parks(Iris Little-Thomas)refused to give up her seat in a "white only" section of a city bus in Montgomery , Alabama to a white man...thus the beginning of major civil rights battles in the 1950's and 1960's. This event was magnified by a lengthy bus boycott, with the blacks refusing to board even the "back" portion of a Mongomery bus. The champion of this movement was a young Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.(Jeffrey Wright), who preached protest without violence. Of course these times would be captured on newsreels to serve as history for the generations to follow. Others of note in this thematic made-for-TV drama: Terrence Howard, CCH Pounder, Reg E. Cathey, Carmen Ejogo, Shawn Michael Howard and Brent Jennings.
