Wow. I spent a lot of time in Durham, North Carolina, in the late 1990s. I had no idea what travails the City had gone through in 1971 when it came to school integration. I also had no idea that the KKK operated so openly & that everyone knew who belonged to the KKK.
This is a movie based on real events & real people. All the main protagonists depict real people. It is quite the story.
This movie came out two years ago. Great timing. Truly a movie for these times. Folks should watch it to see that tolerance, understanding & genuine human decency was possible — & is still possible.
They should show this at school & I am sure some folks will complain & object. SMILE. They would not appreciate the irony.
