Separate But Equal

Oscar winner Sidney Poitier gives a commanding performance in Separate But Equal, the fascinating true story of the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that became the first major victory in the battle for civil rights in America. It began in small town South Carolina and blossomed into the most important judicial decision of the 20th century. This compelling drama co-stars Academy Award winner Burt Lancaster in his poignant final role, as legendary attorney John W. Davis.
