I am so thankful to have watched Selma today and to find this interview. I am proud of the products of Dr. King's struggle, who have chosen to continue his legacy in their own career. I am just pleased that SELMA was made in my time. Congratulations Ava, you were made for this! Congratulations David, I look forward to more roles you will play.
I saw the film yesterday in my local cinema in London, as a man it was such a pleasure to have the opportunity to support a black female director of such generous talent. I hope Spike Lee is biting of crown jewels knowing that there is someone who has the talent and the humility and humanity to make a film that is not rhetorical but has human detail, balance, is unapologetic and had a personal opinion about a very important period in American constitutional/political history.
The were no easy moustache twiddling or emotionally manipulative nonsense that Hollywood tries to pressure on directors.
We don't need the Oscars, their just a panel of tired old white men who are ill-mannered and appreciate nothing or noone. I think the fact that they tried to sweep Selma under the carpet has gone beyond racism and sexism. There is a culture in the UK and the USA of behaving in a way that lends itself to an attitude of deliberate unappreciation of talent, simply because the elite can't get their own way in controlling the narrative of other communities or indidviduals.
Ava has fought through all that, to make a fine film and a great history lesson with plenty of names that matter dropped in which gives Selma its human quality.
What is ironic is towards the end of credits Baynard Rustin who is played in the movie and who historically was instrumental in Dr King's work was never mentioned, happened to be openly gay..........
I want to work with Ava one day. Love how she tok a risk and switch careers to follow her dreams. Never to late.
For such a time as this and for this, present age, this film had to be made. God's timing is undeniably AMAZING. His presence cannot be denied.
Excellent !!!!!!!! I Loved the movie !!!!!!!!!!!
Viva Ava DuVernay!!
Swoon David! Le swoon. His vocabulary is EVERYTHING.
Vocabulary, accent, sense of humour, faith, talent... **swoons** lol
Cannot wait to see this ♡
I LOVE THEM!
Hi, I just need your help quickly because I need to cite David in my thesis which is about Selma and MLK. So I'm trying to transcribe this discussion but what does he say from 26:02 - 26:07 ?
This is what I wrote but what does he really say there? If it is "mayor" what does he really mean by it?
"How are we going to get through this? and your best friend is there, next to you and has to pull you out of the [mayor?] of your own mind"
she seems like a cool person
Amazing people. MLK was very brave so was so many civil rights activists. Rosa parks, shirley chislom! Etc. Malcom X!
Whatever happened to SPIKE LEE???
when i heard his accent i was soo confused... you have no idea
Toronto. Nice town. But, as I recall, with a few "issues" of their own to work out. Btw, never call a Canadian black. He'll cut you.
Uncomfortable, but salient truths regarding the potential for economic equality.

But there is a major flaw in the thesis that income differences explain the racial gap. Consider these three observable facts from The College Board's 2005 data on the SAT:
• Whites from families with incomes of less than $10,000 had a mean SAT score of 993. This is 129 points higher than the national mean for all blacks.
• Whites from families with incomes below $10,000 had a mean SAT test score that was 61 points higher than blacks whose families had incomes of between $80,000 and $100,000.
• Blacks from families with incomes of more than $100,000 had a
mean SAT score that was 85 points below the mean score for
whites from all income levels, 139 points below the mean score
of whites from families at the same income level, and 10 points
below the average score of white students from families whose
income was less than $10,000.

Europeans - 8 twins per 1,000 births, average age when first walking ~12 months
Africans - 16 twins per 1,000 births, average age when first walking ~11 months
the same pattern rears its head in the way of gestation periods, age of crawling, onset of puberty, testosterone levels, bone density, and brain size.
