Nightrider
Description
The Civil Rights movement is gathering steam. The Klu Klux Klan is trying desperately to halt a process it hates, and cannot understand. Blacks are lynched and murdered, bodies are found at the side of the road or hanging from tree - they usually go unpunished. On June 12, Medgar Evers, a black Civil Rights activist, arrives home late at night; he is shot and fatally wounded. This is a story of elusive justice and vengeance.
