Watch this rare video on Youtube about a rally at Tougaloo College in 1966. A historic event with Martin Luther King, Dick Gregory, Stokely Carmichael, Medgar Evers, etc. Standout performances featuring Sammy Davis Jr, and the amazing James Brown!

I have seen a small snippet of this rally but never knew this footage existed! A few white actors and entertainers appeared also; Burt Lancaster, Marlon Brando, Tony Francisosa and others. They came to support black people and equality for the races.

This footage should be digitally remastered and shown to the masses as it it a very important highlight of the civil rights movement! Go to Youtube and enter HISTORIC 1966 THROWBACK.
