Watching it on PBS (The American Experience) right now. I had never heard his name before. Its about the blinding of a decorated WWII Veteran in the Deep South and the aftermath. From the previews, I thought it was a homage to the Freedom Riders who, in 1961, tried to integrate the bus stops and were met with resistance. Woodard's blinding happened in 1946.
Also highlighted in the documentary right now is the contributions of Orson Welles. (SP?).
I usually watch the TV with closed captioning on although my hearing is fine. What really strikes me about Welles is how short his sentences are. Short and direct. Not a syllable wasted.
