Dare Not Walk Alone Review

Millions of visitors come every year to the nation's oldest city, St. Augustine, Florida. They wander down the narrow streets and marvel at the balconies and horse carriages and coquina stone fort, but they leave entirely ignorant of the most important modern event in the Ancient City's history: the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

St. Augustine was a great battlefield of that movement, like Montgomery and Birmingham and Selma and Memphis--but it is the only one of those cities that does not yet have a museum dedicated to telling the civil rights story.

That is not because it lacks significance: it was the demonstrations in St. Augustine organized by Dr. Robert B. Hayling and Dr. Martin Luther King that led directly to the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 which outlawed racial segregation in motels and restaurants, and also job discrimination (not just against blacks, but also against women, so it has really changed the face of the American job force). It was one of the two great legislative accomplishments of the movement, and should be considered the Ancient City's greatest gift to modern America.

Until St. Augustine gets its act together and starts fully embracing its civil rights heritage, we are fortunate to have Jeremy Dean's excellent movie "Dare Not Walk Alone," which graphically and movingly tells what that story is all about. Anyone who lived through those times should view it as a refresher course, and the generations that have come along since will find it as history NOT presented in a dull, dry or boring way. It crackles with excitement.

Those who are inspired by the film to learn more may want to look up books like Dan Warren's "If It Takes All Summer"; Deric Gilliard's "Living in the Shadows of a Legend"; Taylor Branch's "Pillar of Fire"; and David Colburn's "Racial Change and Community Crisis."
