Description
He had a dream, but he was no dreamer. He turned dreams into realities, and this took him from the pulpit into the streets, and often to jail. He said that he had been to the mountain top, but he lived in no ivory tower. His feet were on the ground, marching with his people for freedom. He asked to be remembered only as a drum major, but history marks him as the prime minister of a social movement that shook the conscience of the world.
Ely Landau’s film is the biography of a movement, from the Montgomery bus boycott to the assassin’s bullet. Nothing is contrived, and no narrator imposes his comments. Newsreel and television footage recall the civil rights campaigns as they actually happened.
