I liked how they did not have an actor for Martin Luther King Jr. His speeches are powerful enough without anything visual. It was a good choice. -- Justine R. | I liked how they did not have an actor for Martin Luther King Jr. His speeches are powerful enough without anything visual.

| + | To touch on the MLK question, I think not having him in here focuses the story on smaller, lesser known people who supported the movement.
