... and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr., from his speech, "Beyond Vietnam", delivered at Riverside Church, New York, NY, April 4, 1967
Special Feature: Plaza Man
This 2014 Dutch documentary profiles the struggles of author Robert Groden against the massed power of the city of Dallas through the institution of the Sixth Floor Museum. Kasper Verkaik captures the endless campaign of harassment against Groden in his effort to educate visitors to Dealey Plaza about the true facts of the Kennedy assassination as opposed to the cover-up of the Warren Report. It illustrates the price he paid to wage that one-man crusade.
For further background on Gary Mack and the Sixth Floor Museum, we recommend the following:
