Susan Williams' debut.
Dexter King, the third-born child of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, plays his own father in this movie. This is the second TV movie about the Civil Rights movement that depicts MLK and that has one of his children paying a role in it; the first was 1999's Selma, Lord, Selma, in which the Kings' first-born child, Yolanda King, played a small role (Martin Luther King was depicted in that film by Clifton Powell).
