Taylor Branch’s three-volumes on the history of the Civil Rights Movement are titled
Parting the Waters, Pillar of Fire and
At Canaan’s Edge. The final volume, which covers the years 1965 to 1968, reveals that the most difficult time for the movement was the struggle to achieve a permanent legal and social foothold for voting rights and genuine racial justice. It ends with Dr. King’s assassination and the first signs of the retrenchment America is still facing more than 50 years later.

On the Record). Each documentary has concluded with a list of the accused and implicated who declined to be interviewed unsurprisingly, as one can hardly imagine how it would behoove an alleged predator to appear in these movies. Dick and Ziering are filmmaker-advocates who may have begun their journey screaming into the void, but a cacophony has since risen up to join them.
