Summary

"Follow the stories of four extraordinary women--Fannie Lou Hamer, Angela Davis, Dolores Huerta and Yuri Kochiyama--each from different walks of life, yet united by a shared purpose. Through their courage, intellect and activism, they helped shape the course of the civil rights movements in America. With never-before-seen archival footage, Of the People ensures their stories aren't forgoetten."--Container.
