 For the Rights of All: Ending Jim Crow in Alaska reveals the true-life story of Elizabeth Peratrovich, an extraordinary Tlingit woman who became an unlikely hero in the fight for civil rights. Her dramatic testimony on behalf of the Alaska Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945 and the events leading up to the courtroom are re-enacted in vivid detail.
In 1867, when the United States purchased the Alaska territory, the promise of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights didn't apply to Alaska Natives. Their struggle to win justice is one of the great, untold chapters of the American civil rights movement, culminating at the violent peak of WWII with the passage of one of the nation's first equal rights laws.
