The movie Selma is set in 1965, a turbulent point in american history. While the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was bringing an end to segregation, many of the southern states were systematically disenfranchising African Americans with biased local laws that made it nearly impossible for them to even register to vote. This movie not only shows the struggle undertaken to overcome this dienfranfhiment, it also gives clear examples of why the right to vote is such an integral part of the theories of social justice. John Rowls’ A Theory of Justice. The first of John Rowls two principles of justices states “each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive basic liberties compatible with a similar liberties for others.” ( )
