Verne Gay Newsday Some fleeting segues to the Black Lives Matter movement feel obligatory and woefully incomplete -- but they don't derail this otherwise excellent program. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 25, 2018 Full Review Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media A solid examination of the role that the media plays in advancing and suppressing racism, this documentary broadens its scope beyond the iconic work of Martin Luther King Jr. while keeping him at its center. Rated: 4/5 Dec 16, 2021 Full Review Pat King Metro The early footage, including young Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s rise to prominence, shows how important this coverage was to news networks in the infancy of television news.

Audience Member Deep dive into the understanding and use of the media by Dr King and the Civil Rights Movement. Well crafted, using first hand accounts, still and video footage that provides not only an historical account , but a context and template for present day protests. Fantastic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
