At times, the shift from cartoon to news footage seems a bit forced, but it works most of the time. Go to Full Review

Lester M 01/17/2024 A blast from the past of great storytelling. See more 09/06/2019 Good lord, has this not aged well. See more 03/06/2017 Seems the 90's had more positivity than any other decade. Also the greatest generation of cartoons. This isn't an typical boring cartoon of history but rather an excellent and quite entertaining piece of history that children should see! See more 04/07/2015 Perfectly fine, and informative on a basic level on the journey towards desegregation. Great after-school special. See more 07/01/2014 Good movie about MLK fun for teachers to show to students! Ages 6+ See more 01/15/2013 I love this movie haven't watched it since middle school See more Read all reviews
