Segregation, discrimination, prejudice, bigotry and hatred—in the 1960s, American didn't seem like a place where "all men are created equal." This dangerous racial climate would soon explode in a flurry of boycotts, activism and violent rebellion. Led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., civil rights for African Americans would come slowly and at a high price. And America wasn't the only country facing racial strife. South Africa's oppressive apartheid laws mandated separation, creating two unequal societies under one flag.

Skin Deep combines rare archival film footage, thought-provoking interviews and first-person accounts to offer a vivid picture of the struggle for racial equality in both America and South Africa.

The People Remember: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, apartheid, Freedom Riders, desegregation, the Sharpeville massacre, the Civil Rights Act, the March on Washington, the African National Congress
