It’s amazing. Until this movie I had not read about this tremendous figure in our recent history of civil rights in this country. Schools are so extraordinarily important and we need to be teaching and learning MORE … not banning books and learning less - whitewashing and further dumbing down what our kids are learning. And wow do I miss the Obamas. They are SUCH brilliant, amazing, loving human beings. Stephen Colbert is also one of the best around!
