Synopsis

The story of the Biloxi physician, Dr. Gilbert Mason, who led nonviolent "wade-ins" against segregation on Gulf Coast beaches between 1959 and 1963, protests that sparked violence from whites and resulted in the first successful anti-discrimination suit against the state of Mississippi. Mason's activism landed him at #3 on the FBI's civil rights agitators most-watched list, and he went on to successfully fight for school desegregation in the state and help form the Council of Federated Organizations (COFO). He served as President of the Mississippi NAACP for three decades before his death in 2006.
