Summary The story of Dr. Ben Hooks is an exploration of this nation's long, complex, and difficult history of race in America. We hope that Duty of the Hour, a documentary that examines Benjamin L. Hooks' rise from the streets of segregated Memphis to the national stage will encourage each of us to ask, 'Am I making the seconds of my life count?'? Are we engaged in the civic affairs of our local, state, and national community? Whether we choose to live a private life or a life on a larger stage, almost all of us can make a personal commitment to get involved with issues and people that shape our world. View more details
