In March 1931, two white women stepped off a box car in Paint Rock, Alabama, with a shocking accusation of gang rape, by nine black teenagers on the train. So began the Scottsboro case, one of the 20th century's fieriest legal battles. The youths' trial generated the sharpest regional conflict since the Civil War, led to momentous Supreme Court decisions, and helped give birth to the civil rights movement.

An excellent historical account

Comments about PBS American Experience: Scottsboro: An American Tragedy DVD:

As an African American I was not completely unaware of the circumstances depicted in this video, however, I learned of the genesis and the execution of the notion that "there is more than one way to enslave."

Comments about PBS American Experience: Scottsboro: An American Tragedy DVD:

The documentary was very informative, painful to watch, proof of historical sacrificial realities, and evidence of one of the distasteful occurances in our black history.
