Wed, Jul 1 3:00 P.M. NH World (11.3)

CROSSROADS OF A NATION: MISSOURI'S RIFTS, ROADS AND CIVIL RIGHTS traces Missouri's complex transformation from a battleground of Civil War loyalties to a keystone in America's mid-century modernization. Through archival images and expert commentary, the hour-long film explores how post-war reconstruction, the expansion of infrastructure and the long, unfinished fight for racial justice intersected across Missouri and helped shape American history. From the turmoil of border-state violence to the momentum of Route 66 and the grassroots power of the Civil Rights Movement, this documentary reveals how Missouri's history echoes the broader American story - complex, driven and still evolving.
