With an African-American president just inaugurated, it's easy to forget just how far we've come. This OPB program, produced in 1991, chronicles the little-known history of racism in Oregon and the moving story of people, both black and white, who worked for civil rights. The historic documentary preserves stories that might otherwise be lost and forgotten.

Some films may contain difficult language and/or graphic content.
