This program is an unabashedly spiritual take on the Selma, Alabama, voting rights marches of 1965 from some of its unsung foot soldiers — Catholic nuns. Following the violence of “Bloody Sunday,” sisters from around the country answered Dr. Martin Luther King’s call to join the protests in Selma. Never before in American history had avowed Catholic women made so public a political statement. Risking personal safety to bring change, the sisters found themselves being changed in turn — and they tell viewers how. Selma blacks testify about the importance of Catholic clergy in their lives, and explain why it took until the year 2000 for them to become fully enfranchised. Newfound dramatic archival footage carries much of the story.

At 5:27 p.m., November 9, 1965, the entire Northeast area of the United States and large parts of Canada went dark. From Buffalo to the eastern border of New Hampshire and from New York City to Ontario, a massive power outage struck without warning. Trains were stuck between subway stops. People were trapped in elevators. Failed traffic signals stopped traffic dead. And, at the height of the Cold War, many thought Armageddon had arrived.

Goettge, 59, began his career with U. S. Steel in 1965 as a process analyst at Clairton Works. He moved through a series of operating and management positions and in 1972 was part of a team that commissioned the Q-BOP steelmaking facility at Gary Works in Indiana. In 1984, Goettge oversaw installation of the slab caster at Fairfield Works in Birmingham, Ala., and in 1990 became project manager for U. S. Steel's new joint venture, PRO-TEC, a hot dip galvanizing facility in Leipsic, Ohio. Under Goettge's leadership, Clairton Works, a cokemaking facility, became the first heavy industrial facility in the United States to achieve the ISO 14001 environmental management certification and became the environmental standard against which other coke facilities are measured.

On April 19, 1965 Electronics Magazine published a paper by Moore in which he made a prediction about the semiconductor industry that has become the stuff of legend. Known as Moore's Law, his prediction states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles about every 2 years, enabling widespread proliferation of technology worldwide, and today it has become shorthand for rapid technological change.
