The Story Of A Boston Mayor And Singer James Brown

There are funeral services Wednesday for Kevin White, the man who governed Boston from 1968 to 1984.

White died on Friday, after a decade battling Alzheimer's. In the days since his death, much has been made of how White handled race relations in the city and in particular one night in Boston-- April 5, 1968.

Reporter Michael May takes us back to that moment and reminds us what Kevin White and the "Godfather of Soul did that night."
