Thursday, February 8, 2007, 12:30 a.m.
Description: Focuses on the continuing civil rights struggle in Mississippi. The story covers the voter registration drive during Freedom Summer in 1964 when students and others from the north came to Mississippi to implement black participation in the political process.

The Promised Land (1967-1968)
Wednesday, February 21, 2007, 1 p.m.
Description: In the final year of Martin Luther King’s life, the movement turned its attention to the economic issues confronting the nation and the ramblings of a far off war in Vietnam. Moved by the increasing level of poverty, King and his followers organized the Poor People’s Campaign, a march of the poor to Washington, D.C. where they would build Resurrection City. After King’s assassination in Memphis in 1968, his followers struggled to maintain the campaign.
