The keys to the kingdom (1974-1980) : 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". -- Back to the movement (1979-1985) : Experience the power and powerlessness felt in black communities during the movement's third decade through firsthand knowledge and stories. Miami's Overtown section explodes in rioting when a young black salesman dies after being beaten by police for a traffic violation. Democratic reformers install Harold Washington as Chicago's first black mayor. America's most-watched documentary on civil rights ends with a look back at the courageous people that made the movement a force for hope and social change. --
