This movie was brilliant. It showed us the power and frailty of this influential man. Roger Guenveur Smith's performance was breathtaking and deep. I, being a young black man, need to know my history and past (since they write it out of the history books) so I can continue on with that message. Our race (being one of the most influential and diverse races ever), has constantly had to overcome obstacles and oppression for years. To understand where we come from and see how our elders fought for our rights is powerful. We must continue to fight for our rights to be heard and be free (because we are far from it) and not back down from our oppressors. Men like this, although not perfect by any standards, gave us hope for the future. We must fight by any means necessary for the right to be equal and free everyone from this "Slave Mentality". All power to the people!
