[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watch Eyes on the Prize.

[/quote]Eyes on the Prize is a much better choice.  I am in the minority on this but I found Selma to be wooden and tedious.  I thought it condescended to the SNCC activists and while it was great that Diane Nash was included, the actress playing her barely said a word and mostly sat around looking pretty. [b] Overall too many speeches or dialogue that sounded like speeches and not enough showing how things happened.[/b]

But lots of people love this movie so don't let my criticism stop you from seeing it.  Decide for yourself.  But I do recommend checking out Eyes on the Prize for a very moving portrayal of the civil rights movement.  I believe Diane Nash is interviewed in the section about the lunch counter sit-ins in Nashville and she's smart and interesting and worth hearing from.[/quote]

This is exactly what what my teen DD said. But,  I enjoyed the speeches; loved hearing the words.  They inspired me![/quote]
