Just saw this apparently little publicized gem on cable this morning. Thought it was well written and acted. I enjoyed learning the story of the men who fought so hard for recognition and respect. I would have liked a bit more character development of some of the peripheral figures, but with the time constraints I believe it was an excellent job. Randolph is viewed as the inspiration for much of the civil rights movement in later years - according to the AFL/CIO website (http://www.aflcio.org/aboutus/history/history/randolph.cfm), so I am assuming the story was pretty accurate as presented. It's too bad school children aren't taught this side of history.
