A decade later, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

marched for voting rights.

And this year, it's where pianist and scholar Lara Downs traveled to meet with human rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson, who founded The Legacy Sites.

It was a trip inspired by an African-American spiritual that Downs recorded years ago.

The song Deep River, she says, embodies the resistance, freedom and hope for generations of Black Americans.

A fun fact about our final story, Martin Luther King Jr.

was a huge fan of this NBC primetime show.

It was the only show that he would let his kids stay up late to watch.

The show pushed the boundaries of network TV.

Every episode tackled a moral or ethical dilemma, all under the guise of space travel in the future.

NPR's Jennifer Ludden tells us more.

Generations of Americans will recognize this.

That's it for this week's America in Pursuit.

And join us next week as we tackle that American behemoth, Walmart.

That's next week.
