Why It Matters

This final episode examines the enduring impact of the 1964 civil rights protests in St. Augustine. Has this city significantly improved, or was all that happened there, including the participation of the rabbis, no more than a historic footnote? We also explore whether what occurred the day the rabbis were arrested had surprising national significance. Did it actually affect the passage of the monumental 1964 Civil Rights Act? Lastly, we see how our veterans of the civil rights protest from 60 years ago stand up for civil rights today.
