I was 9 years old and watched this series with my parents, and the scenes of the freedom riders being beaten broke me up so bad I left the living room in tears...
Just a little bit of trivia, THAT pool area IS now the white house press room....this drama went down in movie history it's mentioned in the classic The Goonies

Rumor has it director Jim Goddard wanted Stephen Collins as JFK, thinking Martin Sheen was too short. Collins did play JFK in "A Woman named Jackie".
Hoover was a piece of work and had his own demons.
J Edgar Hoover was surely a ego maniac
Action with the bus burned out - shocking what was possible in these days
Alabama was a cruel and dangerous place during 1960s. 😬😬😬
5:26 who else thinks Sheen hit his head for real and they kept the take? 😅
Fer Abra maybe. If not, he bashed his head hard for this scene. 😂😂😂. I always wince because it sounded painful!
Martin Sheen is hit the head is so funny 😁😀😄
So Funny scene 😂😂
Was that a mistake in the movie
This incident actually happened while JFK was playing hide & go seek with Caroline. There are pictures of him with a band aid on his forehead.
Years of living dangerously...😬😬😬
Ouch . . . everywhere 🤕
