compared to American actors, black and otherwise (Haile 2017). Further, these sentiments often come from black American filmmakers, for example Director Ava DuVernay, who cast Brits to play both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King in Selma, once said “Our system of creating actors is a lot more commercial… there’s a depth of character building that’s really wonderful” (Haile 2017). This opinion is unfounded, of course, as plenty American actors are also classically trained, but is…

them days to even notice that they were missing. I became very sick I couldn’t walk, eat, use the bathroom, and I had dehydrated. I went to the doctor, and also the hospital but they all said the same that I had a stomach virus. My mom brought me to Selma hospital they tried to send me home but my mom wouldn’t let them. When they found what was wrong with me I was immediately airlifted to Birmingham. The poison from my appendix bursting spread all over my body I needed immediate surgery. The…

We Shall Overcome The 1960s are often recognized as being the period of the Civil Rights Movement. Of the many issues concerning the treatment and equality of African Americans, voting rights became one of the more highly debated topics.

After the film the Coordinator and the Commissioners reflected on the film and how the Cultural Center could impact the campus in the same vein as the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s. I decided it was necessary to look-up the “Selma” march of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Right Movement. Barack Obama attend to supporting the racial campaign and he mentions "We gather here to honor the courage of ordinary Americans willing to endure Billy clubs and the chastening rod; tear…

through empowering speeches, and marching to demonstrate their purpose. The Civil Rights Movement helped invoke changes such as Brown Vs. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965.

The 600 marchers that were protesting for equality for all ethnicities, races, religions, and ages only made it across the short Edmund Pettus Bridge when they found their way blocked by local police and Alabama State troopers who ordered them to turn around. The protesters refused and the officers started shooting teargas and waded into the crowd, beating the nonviolent protesters with billy clubs. They hospitalized over fifty…
