Summary:
Clinton High was the first school in Tennessee to desegregate -- an experience that led to chaos and violence. This program reports on the town's efforts in 1957 to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court's mandate in the face of coercive opposition. Footage of the Rev. Paul W. Turner preaching brotherhood and John Kasper expounding in his rhetoric of intolerance creates a vivid portrait of the times. Other individuals add their views, rounding out the picture of a community's successful struggle to reestablish law and order.
