The movie Selma, takes us back to the time when colored
people were fighting for their rights. And when I use the word “fighting” I
meant things like boycotting, marches, sit ins, all acts of non-violence. The
film mainly focuses on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, but at the same time it
showcases the people who helped Dr. King become the great person that we all
know today.
From this movie, I learned that not only was Dr. King able
to successful gather the colored community into joining forces, but he also got
help from the white community too. After his speech, concerning the first non-successful
march to the capital, many white viewers who saw what happened, voiced their
opinion by participating in the next march that Dr. King led. To me, that was
surprising, for Dr. King to have white supporters. During this time, everything
was separated. From bathrooms, restaurants, schools everything. I was impressed
that many stepped up to fight for equality.
