Diversity in America: it's a story of slow progress beginning with the Civil Rights Movement that continues to this day. Two events that set these changes into motion were the protests at San Francisco State and Cornell University in the late sixties.

Filmmakers Frank Dawson and Abby Ginzberg explain why they decided to tell this story. Both Dawson and Ginzberg went to Cornell University, and felt it was an important story that many people today don't know about. They spent seven years putting the film together.
