no doubt we see that racism still exists in the way issues related to Af-Ams are portrayed, even now, in movies - when a movie about civil rights focuses on the white people involved (Mississippi Burning) - or when a movie about the slave revolt on Amistad focuses on the white men who defended the case.

But that still-existing racism does not negate the reality that some white people decided civil rights was an important enough issue that they gave their lives, too. It's not THE issue - but it's part of it - and it undermines all segregationist povs by its mere existence.
