Hi Eva,

I teach a civil rights "unit" every year culminating in MLK's speech.  I
usually show the movie "Mississippi Burning".  It is quite hard to watch but
very relevant.

 Not long ago (a year?) there was a real trial against one of the policemen
involved in the incident on which the movie was based.  I think I still have
the clipping from the newspaper about the court case which also makes it
very relevant to today.

I have a very bad copy of the movie which I once videotaped from TV.  I will
probably buy a DVD to use this year from either Amazon or Ebay.
