Freedom Song

It´s a movie about “the story of the Civil-Rights Movement as seen through the eyes of a teenage Owen Walker growing up in bigotry laden Mississippi in the 1960s at a time when black segregation laws were legal. Owen regrets his father's passive behavior against racism and joins the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) as they struggle to reeducate black citizens and gain basic human rights, predominately the right to vote.”

In that movie I can see clearly how white people abused towards Afro-American people: black people couldn´t entry in libraries, order a sandwich at a restaurant, sit calmly in a bus, or register to vote. Those were ordinary acts of everyday citizens. I think that the movie is the perfect example of the racist conflict in USA and it may help everyone who wants to know more about the Civil-Rights Movement.

Another great event in the movie is the beginning of the “sit-in” and how the young Afro-Americans try to help to their community teaching to black people to pass the exam, register to vote and reach the opportunity to be equal with white people.

From 3:40 min of this video we can see how the Kukuxklan threat black people and how non-violent protest were becoming more popular.

I do like this movie and I recommend it, and for those who have seen it or at least who saw the video that I left here. Finally I invite to think about this.
