Samuel L Jackson and the Fight for Rights

Samuel L. Jackson’s got big plans when he arrives at Morehouse College in

the late 1960s. He loves movies, and he’s dreaming of a bright future as a

marine biologist, but the world’s dreaming of other things. Tensions around

the Civil Rights Movement are only increasing and protests against the

Vietnam War are erupting on campuses around the nation. When these

forces come to a head on campus, Samuel L. Jackson’s leading the charge,

and his shocking actions change the history and future of Morehouse

College.
