The world's most successful pop group The Beatles is re-visited in Ron Howard's comprehensive documentary 'The Beatles: Eight Days a Week', released today.
The Beatles refused to play a segregated concert in Florida.
There's no denying the effect the Beatles had on the music industry in the 60s, and indeed the impact they had on the cultural enjoyment of music.
'They found out that one of their concerts in Jacksonville, Florida was meant to be segregated and they refused to play it that way.
They even had in their contract they would not play to segregated audiences.
'Often, the world was influencing what the Beatles were going through and the Beatles were influencing the way the world looked at things', Howard said.
'The Beatles: Eight Days a Week' is out in theaters today (September 16th 2016). »
