Bloody Sunday in Selma Alabama

1. It just shows you how power becomes so isolated that in the wrong hands that power

begins to manipulate itself into think it's right.

2. An incredibly powerful scene in the film Selma is when Dr. King consoles Cager Lee

Jimmie Lee Jackson's grandfather, played by Henry G. Sanders. This is just the beginning of it:

Sanders is unreal in this scene. Tears your heart out.

4. Nazi filth. They are still at it today. Gestapo tactics.

We do not seem to have Overcome. Not yet, anyway.

5. Excellent Movie!

I finally saw the movie yesterday and it was very moving with so many parallels to the struggles of today. Not the least of which is the Repubs continuing to pass laws that disenfranchise voters of color. The acting was incredible.

and, yes, DuVernay and Oyelowo got robbed not being nominated for Best Director/Best Actor, accordingly.
