It is perhaps impossible to understand the nature of a mass movement unless it is recognized that their chief preoccupation is to foster, perfect and perpetuate a facility for united action and self-sacrifice.

What is accurately portrayed is the rich humanity not just of Martin Luther King but of the movement, which was a multiracial movement.
