Description 1 online resource (streaming video file (84 min.)) : sound, color Summary "On June 7, 1998, three white men from Jasper, Texas, chained African-American James Byrd to a pick-up truck and dragged him until his body disintegrated. This powerful documentary takes you to the white and black communities as it records their separate reactions to the most vicious racially motivated murder in the last 50 years. This film provides an unprecedented opprtunity to see the divisions that separate one person from another."--Website Analysis Documentaries Human Rights Race and Class Studies Sociology Notes Title from title frames Credits Film editor, Melissa Neidich ; cinematographers, Jonathan Weaver, Steven Miller Event Originally produced by Documentary Educational Resources in 2002 Notes In English Subject Byrd, James, Jr., 1949-1998.
