SELMA Historic Preamble for Civil Rights-A MUST SEE

SELMA represents our country's heroism in the face of orchestrated oppression & cruelty.   The film focuses on  the most significant period of the 20th C in our country's history; the civil rights movement.  The consummate degradation & persecution of blacks rendered a morass of hopelessness & fear.  The brutal & unflinching footage of horrific beatings & killings of peaceful demonstrators seeking their constitutional right to vote are extremely painful to watch.  Dr. Martin Luther King (portrayed with pensive dignity by a magnificient David Oyelowo) is shown strategizing, speaking and meeting with Pres. Johnson to seek passage of the Voting Rights Act in order to abolish systemic white tyranny.  This movie may be viewed as the darkest of our history's humanity and, as the most honorable acts of courage & sacrifice by many.  But, everyone must view this salient film.  The recent police killings & failures to indite reenforces that complacency in society is a dangerous & a slippery slope to forfeiting our rights.  The right for peaceful protest is imperative for a just & equal  society.  Utilize your right to vote.  Responsibility lies with everyone and the time is always now to oppose inequality & inhumanity.  SELMA is a great movie.  SELMA will receive numerous awards & Oscar votes.
