~~Thomas' The Long Walk Home~~

The Long Walk Home starring Sissy Spacek and Whoppi Goldberg was a movie about Anti/segregation. Throughout the movie, a white woman called Ms.Thompson would drive black people around. Yet her husband was all for segregation. He hated the black people. When black people wanted to get on the bus, they had to pay and go to back of the bus. When the black women stood up to the white men, I believed that was a very courageous act. I was amazed when Ms.Thompson stood with them.
