An Ordinary Hero

In 1960, 19-year-old Joan Trumpauer Mulholland--a white "Dukie" from a privileged Georgia upbringing--joined the desegregation sit-in at Durham. The activism she continued to display until the Civil Rights Act's passage--from participating with the Freedom Riders to the Woolworth's counter protest in Jackson, enduring jail time and angry mobs--is compellingly chronicled by her grandson, filmmaker Loki Mulholland. 91 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English.
