question about the march

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me which march Alec Baldwin is watching on TV (when the cops are taking the small flags away from the African Americans). The same thing is also depicted in Mississippi Burning.

Thanks.

msultan,

The march was part of Dr. King's "Children's Crusade".

It is in Birmingham - I can't remember the exact date, but it was 1961.

Cheers,
KWH
