The long walk home.

My class and I watched a movie called The Long Walk Home, This movie was based on a true
story about human rights between the "blacks" and the "white's". The main characters were Sissy Spacek
and Whoppi GoldBerg as Odessa. There was a very touching/meaninful part in the movie, that made me almost
cry because when you are watching the 'white" call the "black" people the N word like no one has names it hurts.
At one part the "white" pepole have the "black" people in the corner calling them names. Just because of there color
of there skin its such a stupid thing iv ever seen in my life. At the end its happy because the "blacks" get there human rights
to sit in the front of the busses and freedom of speech.
