Dare Not Walk Alone

A Documentary that Explores the Civil Rights Struggle through St. Augustine, Florida

On June 18, 1964 a white hotel owner in St. Augustine, Florida, poured acid in a swimming pool filled with black and white youth conducting a civil rights demonstration.

Photographs of this horrific incident were on the front page of every major newspaper around the world and broke the filibuster in the Senate, allowing President Johnson to sign the Civil Rights Act into law.

With rarely-seen news footage and revealing interviews, DARE NOT WALK ALONE uncovers the untold story of the St. Augustine movement that led to this historic legislation.
