Martin Luther King. Coleen Degnan-Veness
Martin Luther King had a dream. He wanted blacks and whites to live together happily. But in America in the 1950s and 1960s, all men were not equal. King led peaceful protests against the government and won changes for the blacks of America. But has King's dream really come true today?
Lawman
Bill Pearson fought in the civil war for the Union. His sense of what was right brought him that decision. Raised in Kentucky and Missouri he continued his quest for righteousness, moving west where he eventually became a lawman. Along with his best friend Lee Johnson, they tested besting the powerful Williams Gang in Wyoming. A deputy was lost and the prospects were hopeless. Perhaps exhibiting a lack of confidence, they pair moved on to Arizona where they met up with another Civil War friend, Rod Jones, and once again pinned on badges. The ensuing years provided an exciting, fast paced life filled with typical badman/lawman adventures. Settling conflicts among ranchers and fronting a compromise with the Southern Pacific Railroad, while chasing two notorious outlaws, Pony Lincoln and Pony Martin, and suffering wounds and pneumonia, take their toll on the marshal. But, losing Lee Johnson to Lincoln causes Pearson to abandon his law enforcement days and head further west. Leaving his remaining deputies in Arizona, the former marshal takes up horse ranching near San Diego. Bill Pearson is essentially a happily married rancher until the past comes calling.
The Columnist
Long before Wikileaks and social media, the journalist Drew Pearson exposed to public view information that public officials tried not to reveal. A self-professed "keyhole peeper", Pearson devoted himself to determining what politicians were doing behind closed doors. From 1932 to 1969, his daily "Washington Merry-Go-Round" column and weekly radio and TV commentary broke secrets revealed classified information and passed along rumors based on sources high and low in the federal government. Intelligence agents searched fruitlessly for his sources, yet rarely learned them. Drawing on Pearson's extensive correspondence, diaries, and oral histories, The Columnist reveals the mystery behind Pearson's leaks and the accuracy of his most controversial revelations.
