I was glued to the TV. The list of things I learned... the things I misunderstood all my life... is too long. I learned about the many heroes of the Civil Rights movement that I'd never heard of before. I experienced every emotion possible. I cried and I cheered. "Skip" Gates is a master of everything he does. I will watch the whole thing again when it comes around.
