Our racist history is brought to light in this documentary about black veterans returning from WWII (one in particular) and brutal reception they were given. The "police" were instrumental in enforcing Jim Crow and white southerners were threatened by black veterans who had helped defeat fascism and experienced little racism in Europe. Two couples were murdered for voting.
The documentary shows how the NAACP with future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall used media and Orson Welles to bring light to these injustices.
This is the kind of thing republicans don't want taught. It might make white kids sad. And shows the racist history of policing in this country.
