Tonight, the Best of Studs Terkel presents part one of “This Train,” WFMT’s annual remembrance of the 1963 civil rights march in Washington, D.C. Studs joined hundreds of Chicagoans on a train bound for Washington. He recorded their thoughts and experiences on his portable tape recorder and wove those historic voices into this award-winning documentary.
