For me it's simply another disappointing slip from Oprahs' traditional high standards which is something I've come to unfortunately anticipate of late.<br />Personally I'm electing to vote with my $$ and not see this film.

There were many more who could have been included as well. I thought the portrayal of Bayard in the film was true to life (except that he and A. Philip Randolph were present at the event in Mongomery at the end, and I didn't see him there.) He served as a strategist for those in Selma and organized a march in Harlem in support of the Selma march. I have cowritten a biography of Rustin for young people with Walter Naegle and Michael G. Long (https://www.quakerbooks.org/book/bayard-rustin). I queried Walter about his response to the film, but have not heard back from him. <br /><br />My hope is that this movie will spark interest in the movement--both past and present--and move people to get involved.Jacquelinehttp://www.jhoutman.comnoreply@blogger.com
