In Remembrance of Martin
Description
This documentary examines Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy. Filmed in Atlanta on the first federal holiday in his honor, an impressive group of distinguished public figures is interviewed, including: former President Jimmy Carter; Rev. Jesse Jackson; Bishop Desmond Tutu; Rev. Ralph Abernathy; Julian Bond; Senator Edward Kennedy; Andrew Young; Bill Cosby, among others. Archival footage recounts highlights of Dr. King's actions and accomplishments in the civil rights movement: being fingerprinted after his arrest during the Montgomery bus boycott; his 1963 "I have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial; and his 1964 acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize.
