| This movie could be used as a good example to show what African-Americans went through and how they fought for their equality. The fight for equality was a hard and tough one but this movie shows the friendship between a white woman and a black woman during a time when that was frowned upon but it still persevered --Alyx Wilson | This movie could be used as a good example to show what African-Americans went through and how they fought for their equality.

| + | I thought it was interesting that the film still has a heavier white presence in the film's storyline, even though it's about the Civil Rights cause, maybe this is a reflection of the times though, the 90's had way more white centered films than they did any other.

| The reading about Rosa Parks and Virginia Durr mentioned that a lot of the people participating in the bus boycott would lie to their bosses about why they were not riding the bus.
