10. It was a sad movie

I watched it (finally) over the holidays. It was painful to look at but it least it provided some context to events that I had learned about over the years (through family and in the schools) that happened when I was 3 years old.

My mother was a staunch - "I will never set foot in the south but will fly over it" person, although we did eventually go to a cousin's wedding in Atlanta and did get to visit Ebenezer Baptist church (which was being renovated at the time) and go into the MLK Center.
