In "Power!" across America, the call for "Black Power" mobilizes communities for change in strikingly different ways as told through the perspectives of Black Panther Party members, teachers, and politicians. In Cleveland, Carl Stokes seeks power through the ballot box and becomes the first black mayor of a major city. African-American and Latino residents in Brooklyn elect an inter-racial governing board to control their children's education. In "The Promised Land" hear leaders and activists reflect on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s crusade to overcome the fragmenting civil rights movement. King and the SCLC organize a multiracial Poor People's March to Washington, D.C. A peaceful protest of striking Memphis sanitationw orkers ends in tragedy when an assassin's bullet takes King's life. Special features: Interview with Henry Hampton, Primary Source and Graphs and Down loadable Study Guide.
