      Then they can pitch the sequel film, Return To Oz.

      It might not have much of a "plot" but I think it has some very emotional moments and nice messages. Like the way mothers need their children as much as their children need them, the philosophy of turning a weakness around into a strength and looking on the positive side, the way a symbol or totem can help you gain confidence (Dumbo's feather), etc. I think it's very insightful, if you're paying attention.

      @Torchy Brown Actually the Civil Rights Act of 1866 first made blacks full citizens of the USA. After this was overturned by the Supreme Court in the infamous Dred Scott case, the 14th amendment was enacted, giving blacks full citizenship. This was followed by the 15th amendment in 1870 which ensured them the right to vote.
      Furthermore, the first black U.S. Senator was Hiram Revels, elected in 1870. Blanche K. Bruce was also a black U.S. Senator, serving from 1875 to 1881. (BTW, both of these Senators were Republicans.)

    • @raydunakin

      @Torchy Brown I notice that you have ignored the 14th and 15th amendments, which did in fact make blacks full citizens under the law. This is more than enough to disprove your original statement that "blacks were slaves in the 1800s, we were not Americans."
