Gleichheit kennt keine Farbe (1991)
Anfang der 50er Jahre versucht in South Carolina der Rektor einer Schule für schwarze Kinder (der einzigen in der Stadt), einen dringend benötigten Schulbus für die Kinder zu bekommen. Als seine Bemühungen erfolglos bleiben, kann er einen Anwalt und schwarzen Bürgerrechtler aus New York engagieren, der über den Einzelfall das gesamte System der Rassendiskriminierung ins Wanken bringen will und letztlich auch einen schwererkämpften Erfolg vor dem Obersten Gerichtshof feiern kann.
