Why You Should Watch Seperate But Equal
This past week, my class and I watched the movie Separate But Equal starring Sidney Poitier. When we first began the movie, after the first couple of minutes, many of us were nodding, but towards the middle, the action and drama started increasing. This movie was mainly centered around the 14th Amendment and its importance to minorities. This amendment states that all men are created equal and therefore should be treated equally. In this movie, you will see how one amendment brought about a big argument over the fact that there is no such thing as separate but equal schools. The NAACP was fighting for desegregation and was not going to rest until they won.
In the movie, there were very influential people like Thurgood Marshall and many significant Supreme Court Justices. When you watch the movie, make sure you pay attention to them and their views. Even though some parts of the movie were a bit dragging, it still had a lot of valuable information in it. From watching this movie, you will learn a lot about our governmental system and be able to tell how events like these influenced our government today. It was a very enlightening movie, and I believe that all students should take the time to see it at least once. Believe me when I say that you won't regret the time you put into watching this very influential movie.

My overall view of this movie, "Separate But Equal", is that it is very informative and interesting. I would recommend this movie to everyone because I feel that everyone should know a little bit about how our government got the way it is today. This movie shows how determine the black people were to make a change, especially in this case, in the segregated schools. The case that took place in this movie, which cause the "separate but equal" to die. This victorious case was the turning point of our government or should I say our "Constitution." And this was the a start for a beginning future for upcoming blacks. In the end, the good outweighed the bad, schools were to be desegregated. Again, I would recommend this movie, "Separate But Equal," to everyone.
