'''I really wonder what the experience was like for the black actors making this movie. So Whoopi only being born in 1955 would have not experience the bus boycott but would have experience other Civil Rights movements as a young child. Was it hard for these actors to portray these roles? I cant imagine having to relive that kind of experience.''' -- Kellye Sorber | '''I really wonder what the experience was like for the black actors making this movie.

| + | In the 1990s, I think there was a big push to be politically correct, to acknowledge the struggles different minorities in this country have faced. During this decade, the government and society seemed to want to attempt to make up for the blatant racism that this country has shown minorities. In this movie, the bad guys are the ignorant Southerners, attempting to keep the status quo. The heroes are the characters like Odessa and Miriam, trying to push the envelope, in an attempt to improve society. This movie, with its powerful gospel music and emotional moments for the black community, paints a triumphant picture of blacks in America. ~Juliann Boyles | ||
