One particular line caught my ear


When Abbey Lincoln's father is talking to Ivan Dixon about how to deal with white racism and incivility he tells him to "act the part," calling it a form of "psychology."

That's an interesting look into how this self-defeating behavior was not only ingrained but passed down to younger generations. Thank god there were more people with opposing viewpoints or we never would have seen such changes.

Outstanding film.

One of the best movies I have seen, especially one of the best with a full black cast. Amazing.
