    This is a movie that ALL people should watch, learn, and carry on their ways as Hazel did. We all take of pants off the same way, we all bleed red and we should all love each other as though everyone is our brother and sister. There are no blacks, no whites, no other color, just human beings that our loving Lord has made us to be.

    This movie should be shown in every school. It is only when children are taught truth and love at an early age will they learn true love.Apathy for all lives is the way to find peace and harmony. Courage is what older adults need to teach and show if our world is to change. A very sad movie that brought many tears. All those who study journalism should know that the truth must be told. We all will meet our maker one day and we will be judged.

    Magnificent movie! My parents raised me to be "color blind" and it was the school system in Portland Oregon that taught me racism, by calling me a no good honky! My first close friend was black, and I did not know it was a problem for a white girl to have a black friend. He did not know I was white either. His parents taught HIM to be color blind. Our parents became friends during the year 1968, when racism was high in Portland Oregon.
    Dad told me his close friend was black, and he was murdered in Biloxi Mississippi in 1959 by the KKK. His body was found just outside the military base located there. The military officials told him his friend was murdered because he was black. In retaliation all the men on the base were forbidden to go into town to spend their money when on leave. My Dad who was indeed white--was shocked over the murder.
    My mother as a child, toured the south with her parents picking crops. She witnessed for herself segregation. She told me about "colored hospitals," and "colored only fountains" and such. She would rebel and as a white use those facilities--in protest. It scared her parents because they feared reprisals from white folks.
    My parents taught me that Jesus loves all people--and I went to college and learned that
    there is ONLY one race of people per DNA--we are all the same! We are only different shades of brown. There are no white, or black people! WE are all just different shades of brown! It is about time everyone accepts that, and quit the bickering and fighting and racism and grow up.
    Over the years I have taken heat and been discriminated against for standing up for the rights of all--and I am glad I did! I am also glad God blessed me with a skin disease that for more than 20 years artificially darkened my skin 10 shades darker than normal. I experienced life as a colored person as a young teen into my young adulthood. I got a really good taste of discrimination in employment, social circles, and even in the medical field and in housing too. Today, I am disabled, but fight for the rights of others as an advocate from my hospital bed, with my computer lap top! I have been doing this for over 19 years!
    Thanks for this movie, I was very inspired, and it lifted my spirits to continue to fight! I will never give up fighting for equal treatment and equal rights for all, until I am in my grave!
    God Bless, Michelle from Gresham Oregon

    Sensational movie. I started to cry when the cars arrived at the funeral. Unfortunately, it usually takes too long for most people to accept the truth, but still better late than never. There is a teaching in the Jewish Talmud: "If one has the ability to protest against [and try to prevent] the sins of members of his household [or his city, or the entire world] and fails to do so, he will be held accountable [by God] for the sins of the members of his household [or his city, or the entire world]." It teaches further that if protesting threatens his well-being, he need not do so, but if he does, his heavenly reward will be great. The message is: If a million people stand by in silence as an injustice is committed against their fellow human being, they are all held accountable morally, for if even one of them raised his voice in protest and tried to incite moral outrage among his fellow humans, he may have changed up to a million hearts. How many minds and hearts did individuals like Emile Zola or Abe Lincoln change?

    It hurts my heart that things really haven't changed much, especially in Mississippi. This lady has my respect. She was a true ally. There aren't many like her who are willing to do the right thing no matter what. I wish people would realize that we really aren't any different. I have the same hopes and dreams for my child as everyone else has for theirs. Just three nights ago a Black man was assaulted by a group of White men in my neighborhood park. He was critically injured after being beaten with a baseball bat. 30 years ago the same thing happened to my little brother in the very same park. He was only 10 years old. My brother served on the front lines in Iraq. He was a medic and was awarded a purple heart. The highest honor a soldier can get while still alive. He's a good man. A good son, brother, uncle, and father. But he is still treated like a second class citizen in this country. The same country he fought to protect and almost lost his life for is the same country that tells him that he is less than those who certainly never would have put on that uniform and fought. Why are we so much less than everyone else? All we want is to he able to live in peace. To have the same opportunities as everyone else. The same people who stand beside us publicly are stabbing us in the back when no one is looking. My son turned 15 years old today and I am afraid for him. I feel bad that I chose to bring him into this world. Because I foolishly believed that times were changing. My son is a good boy. He's never caused any trouble. And two years ago he was roughed up and handcuffed by a police officer because he and a group of other boys were in the park after curfew. I have never explained curfew to my son because I never thought that I had to. That night he was sleeping over at a friend's house for a birthday party. They were in the park with the boy's dad's permission. And my son believef that as long as he had permission to go it was okay. He has never been out that late before or since. I'm old school and my son knows when the street lights come on he has to be in the house. There was a total of 6 boys. They were on the merry go round when the police showed up. They weren't being loud or anything. 5 of the boys were white. My son was not. Yet my son was the only one who was bleeding and in handcuffs. My son's friend asked the officer why he was handcuffed and the officer told him that it was because he didn't know my son and didn't know if my son was going to try and hurt him. My son didn't have anything that could he used as a weapon unless it was a shoelace. And none of those boys had ever met that officer. So why was mine singled out? He hadn't even started puberty yet. My son's innocence was stolen that night. It was the night that he learned that he was different, and not in a good way. It needs to stop. My son is no less deserving of the American dream than anyone else. Even if racism doesn't affect you directly you have to think about those that it does. Please vote and vote wisely in November. We have an openly racist president and that has to change.

      I feel your pain. There is all kind of prejudice in the world. It has always been the Republicans that have voted to help stop prejudice for the black people, not the Democrats. President Trump has helped black colleges, help prison reform, black unemployment was WAY down before the virus. More black people were starting up businesses. He had about 200 or 300 black youth that were leaders in their schools to the white house. These kids were so excited to be there and for their future. Donald Trump in the past decades has helped many black people start businesses of their own. He has never been a racist. That is just what the main street people want you to think. They are democrats that do not care for anyone but them selves. Please do research and find the truth. Many black people are moving to the right. The Black Lives Matter organization do not care either They give their funding to the Democrats. Democrats want a socialist and a communist country.

I'm keeping my car because I may have to live in it. So I'm sorry but I can't be as optimistic as you. All my savings and my 401k is long gone. It paid for our living expenses and medical costs while I had to fight social security because they don't think that a brain tumor is a disabling condition. I need help and no one is willing or able. They just tell me that I should have been more responsible and planned better. But how do you plan on battling for your life?

      I first experienced racism when I was about 5 or 6. We were at our yearly camp mouth oh Klamath River. I met my first girlfriend there her skin was black I'm colored white. We are all human color no matter. We played with the Indian children the were red skinned. We all got along fine. The next year was started the same except a few days later mamma called me in to our small camper. Crabs in the kettle on the stove. Momma told me I couldn't play with Sara anymore. Grandma was with us this year and she doesn't cotten to black folks ya see Grandma was from Kansas. What's that got to do with anything I thought while tears ran down. Momma said this time we need to respect Grandmas wishes as she traveled along way by bus to visit us. So I snuck out and went to Sara we put a blanket out laid down and watched the clouds drift. We were holding each other and crying when I told her. We are all made in the image of God. Her dad came out said well I'm Indian too. They weren't staying as long and packing up to go. Sara and I made a PAC that we would never forget each other. I know in my heart she remembers us and our frienship. Racisms doesn't end here for me and learning of but I vowed I wouldn't be apart of. To this day I stand for God and Jesus and freedom. I think of my friend and other friends teachers all through my life. God bless all ( love this movie)

      But courage is courage because of cowardice, which is the strong sense of fear. Reread my earlier comment in this thread. *When* conviction of Truth is stronger than fear, then cowardice isn't an issue. Courage is only courage when one is strongly sensing fear. When that fear is put asunder, then only Truth and strength of soul rises without need of "courage." There is only courage where there is fear. Again, reread that earlier reply.
      You are correct when you write of many people being cowards; that is because they don't know how to deal with fear. Courage can operate in the face or midst of fear, but if one's convictions are stronger than any fear, then there's no need for courage. Truth is stronger than fear. If many people don't know the truth, then will they ever have convictions stronger than fear? No. The best they'll ever have, then, is courage. This means that courage is a #2 to Truth-conviction. People treat courage as if it's a hero, as if it's #1, but it's not. It's a poor substitute for conviction of the truth, and it doesn't have half the strength.

When he died he was 66 in 1982. When she died in 1994, she was 80. She was born in 1914. She never had the city rally around her like that. Individuals did yes. She eventually owned four separate newspapers. And ended up having to sell them all. They had financial troubles their whole life. He did indeed lose his job. When she died she was bankrupt.

      Who knew that Woodrow Wilson, RESEGREGATED Civil Service. The first movie shown at the White House was for Wilson at his bequest...BIRTH OF A NATION, a blatantly racist flick. He should have been impeached for his disgusting beliefs and those of his party. Further back in history, The Lincoln-Douglas debates clearly reflect the two choices many voters were talking about at that time. And the KKK, the militant arm of the Democrat party, was not just in the South. Hatefilled small-minded people were/are found all over the country, all over the world.

    I agree with Art Johnson. I was born in Los Angeles and grew up in many cities, we moved a lot when I was a child. I lived in Compton during the Compton riots. I also played with many people of color and was taught that color made no difference. I have also believed in that and still do to this day. When I got divorced from my ex-husband I moved to Kansas City 1978 and lived with my in-law and one night we were out dancing at a bar and I dance with an African American on the dance and then came back to where I was sitting. The owner of the bar told me that if I did that again I would be immediately disbarred from the bar. I was just so shocked that things have not changed. I worked at a nurse's registry and they always sent me to Marting Luther King hospital to work there. Which is an all African American hospital! I was the only token white person that worked there and I never felt any racism of any kind we all got along beautifully. I was also told where to live because there was an unwritten law that no Whites could live below Independence Avenue. No African American could be in that area after dark. I hated how people treated African Americans I finally moved back in 1982 to my beloved Los Angeles, California. I met an African American gentlemen and we fell in love and lived together for 15 years. So we became Salt and Pepper cops were always pulling us over to check for drugs, of course, we did not have none. Women of color can be cruel too with a mixed couple, and some are very kind and we got along with them. During the 1992 riots, people of color except for myself and my long time friend had to sit and watch the ones burning down buildings, robbing stores, and Malls. I have seen it all. I took care of my neighbors who were all African Americans during the riots they needed food to feed their children because they were waiting on their checks. So I gave them hamburgers. bread, soup, and anything that I had that I could share I did. Once it cooled down a bit because I had been threatened by some of the looters because I was I was White. I took a few of my neighbors to the nearest grocery store that had not been burned down or closed so they could get food to provide for their families because I was leaving to go stay at my sister's house until this all blew over. My boyfriend that I lived with had sisters who were the meanest women who just sit and judge people at a cafe, anywhere they went even if I was with them. I could not believe what I heard so I stopped going around them. Racism was still going on when I left and I moved to St. Louis to be near my grandchildren and Wow Missouri still has not changed. African Americans are still afraid to come into my area of town. Too many rednecks. Lord, I wish we could just all get along. This movie bought me to tears and made me remember all those years of hatefulness between caucasian and people of color. That means all people of color not only African Americans. God Bless everyone. We are all people and bleed the same color. Amen.

      Yes, I believe we have and amongst good people we are at least going in the right direction. This material world is not a fit place for living for any good gentleman or lady. This is the fact, but we embrace the illusion that we can be happy and comfortable here, even when happiness here is s mere respite from misery.
      That's because this world has very strict laws of nature that apply to every living being. Money will not buy freedom from death. Education, beauty or fame will not garner immunity from old age, or disease or birth again in the cycle of samsara. Strength is limited to circumstances. Let's live in the Spiritual world after this one, and as far as possible live in spirit while we are here. Then we are preparing ourselves and others for success.

    A wonderful story about a woman whom I never was aware of. I rejoice to learn and see that there were many white southerners who also themselves fought for the cause of justice and integration - that it was not all forced by the north. There were decent and caring white people down there, too. And I don't think anyone has properly assessed the close relationships formed between decent whites and blacks in those days.

    This passion and courage for truth is exactly what is needed right now. So many before us all gave their everything for the truth and for what is right no matter what they came up against and even if they had to do it alone and they did all of this for the rights and freedoms my generation was able to enjoy and what did we do with their sacrafice over the past 4 years.... we friggen delivered it all back on a platter and the majority buried their heads in the sand along with their morals, integrity and courage.
    Well that has to all stop now, and if not now then we have all failed.
    Our kids and our grandchildren need us to be the brave soldiers now, they need us to reclaim our reality and their future and start saying NO to all this government control, censorship, invasion of privacy and the stealing of our wealth.
    When we stop listening to them and following their orders, we change the reality, we put the power back into the hands of the people and they fade away into the background where they belong.
