- This video features a luncheon event at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's 39th Annual Convention in which U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno is the keynote speaker. Reno speaks to the Federal government's efforts to fight against racial discrimination in the economy and society, the protection of voting rights, and the ongoing investigation of church burnings. The video also contains footage of the first part of a panel discussion regarding the tracking of students. Tracking is a system in which students are divided into classes based on their overall achievement.
