For the Rights of All: Ending Jim Crow in Alaska (2009)

NR | Nov 01, 2009 (US) | Documentary | 00:57

In 1867, when the United States purchased the Alaska territory, the promise of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights didn't apply to Alaska Natives. Their struggle to win justice is one of the great, untold chapters of the American civil rights movement, culminating at the violent peak of World War II with the passage of one of the nation's first equal rights laws.
