Freedom Season: How 1963 Transformed America’s Civil Rights Revolution

The hundredth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, 1963, was a year of political tumult and unrest in America, rife with racial violence and marked by the high-profile assassinations of Medgar Evers and JFK. Despite, or perhaps because of, such social and political troubles, it was also a year of enormous transformation for our country and the Civil Rights Movement. Author ​​Peniel E. Joseph joins Douglas Brinkley to detail the gripping events of that year, from Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” to the March on Washington and beyond.
