Synopsis: Four years after the historic enrollment of James Meredith, student activists devise a plan to defy Mississippi’s unconstitutional “Speaker Ban” and bring Robert F. Kennedy to the University of Mississippi in 1966 to reveal the truth about his secret phone calls with former governor and staunch segregationist, Ross Barnett. Featuring previously unreleased archival footage of Bobby Kennedy and interviews with Ethel Kennedy, James Meredith, and many others, this film offers a glimpse into a timely and lesser known slice of American history.
