- This is the only movie of the day that had me in lots of tears.
- David Oyelowo is amazing as MLK Jr. I felt like I was watching King himself because he had the speech pattern down.
- Was that Shaq in the crowd at the march on the bridge?
- It's hard to believe that 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, racism was still so rampant...and 150 years later, it's still there. People, come on. Stop it. I think this affects me even more because I'm currently reading a book about Abraham Lincoln.
- Giovanni!!!
- I didn't know that happened to Mahalia Jackson's son.
- I thought it was really cool that MLK could just call Mahalia and ask to hear God, and she'd sing to him.
- I don't know if I would have been one of the people to go to Selma and march, but I think those people were quite brave to do that, after either being there themselves or seeing the TV coverage of the first attempt.
- I like the song "Glory". I'm looking forward to a performance of that at next week's Oscars.
- See, people, THIS is why we vote.
That was a good film to wrap up the day. 3 more to go.
