American Experience · Season 20, Episode 7
In the 1970s, antidiscrimination legal rights gained in past decades by the civil rights movement are put to the test.

Atlanta's first black mayor, Maynard Jackson, proves that affirmative action can work, but the Bakke Supreme Court case challenges that policy.
