Dates and major events all happened at the right time, including the bombing of Dr. King's home. Through tear-fogged eyes, I was able to see that this was a heartbreakingly accurate depiction of a world where we referred to other human beings as dogs, and often worse names than that. The Citizen's Coalition seemed to be accurately depicted, down to the Confederate Flag as its logo. This wasn't an easy movie to get through, but that was the point. It wasn't an easy time to be black either. -Cash Nelson | Dates and major events all happened at the right time, including the bombing of Dr. King's home.

Very powerful movie. - Elle | ||
