Children of the Civil Rights (2015)

No one knew the Oklahoma kids were heroes, not even the kids themselves.

57 min · United States of America · Dir. Julia Clifford

For six years, a group of kids went into restaurants and asked for service. It never got violent, it never made national news, but these kids desegregated every restaurant in Oklahoma City except one before the 1964 Civil Rights Act was made into law. Children of the Civil Rights, a documentary film, shares their six year odyssey to freedom. This is a story about the strength of youth.
