Story VS Reality
Civil Rights of the Black American Population

Story VS Reality
Civil Rights of the Black American Population
- This film brilliantly manages to stimulate debate about human rights. It also conveys the message that just because something didn't happen to us, doesn't mean it's not our problem.
- The hate will continue to exist, this darkness will continue to exist, unless everyone does what they can to combat it;
CONCLUSION
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that . Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
MARTIN LUTHER KING (1929-1968)
