Heirs to A Dream

Produced by:

Tovia Smith

A group of teenagers--black, white, Asian, Hispanic--from the inner city and the suburbs of Boston journey together to the sites of the civil rights movement of the sixties. We travel with them as they visit the motel where Martin Luther King was shot, the sites of marches and sit-ins, the graves of civil rights workers. The teens also meet veterans of the movement. Producer Tovia Smith takes a trip into the past with these young people as they discover the state of race relations today, what role their generation may play in continuing the struggle for civil rights and how others disagree with their views.
