The civil rights movement we know about is Dr. King, Selma, the bus boycott and Bull Connor. We saw it all on television. But few of us were taught about the civil rights movement before that, the first one, one hundred years earlier. Visit Philadelphia, a city that financed slavery. Come see South Carolina and see it declare education against the law. Meet Octavius Catto, a Black school teacher and civil rights leader in Philadelphia. See what really happened. And why.
