* BatmanGambit: Dr. King explains that the protest strategy is dependent on their enemies making a mistake. With that in mind, he deliberately chooses the courthouse as the site of their protest because, unlike the rest of the city, it is under the jurisdiction of Sheriff Jim Clark, who King has been told is an idiot who is sure to overreact.

It depicts the marches from Selma to Montgomery that provoked violent backlash, including fire hoses and police dogs being set on protestors, the showing of which on broadcast television shocked the nation.
