690768, I do was the movie about Selma or Dr. MLK Jr Posted by Musa, Sun Jan-04-15 12:02 PM
?
Last I checked it was called SELMA correct?
Last I researched much work was being done in Selma by several organizations who worked DIRECTLY with Dr. King correct?
Last I researched Kwame Ture, James Foreman etc were vital in the movement and were not even depicted, named, mentioned or noted in the film correct?
Is this film about Selma or a half ass Dr. MLK jr impersonation?
What makes this film so good?
Did you know the Voting act was pretty much rendered useless last year?

No mention of that at the end of the film when they tried to put a pretty bow on a very much open and continuing issue.
This is what I like to call revisionism and it is dangerous.
