History
1
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words are paired with scenes from the civil rights struggle and the diverse communities of Alaska, linking his calls for action, equality, mutuality, and service with events and people including his prayer protest against the Vietnam War, his appearances in Philadelphia, Selma, and New York, and the response to his death in 1968, alongside Alaska Native, African American, Asian American, Hispanic, and other Alaskan leaders and communities who fought discrimination, voting-rights barriers, unequal employment, internment, and exclusion through organizations, journalism, law, public advocacy, and everyday civic life.
