Goofs
Contrary to the events portrayed in the film, in "Miles of Smiles, Years of Struggle" (1982), E.D. Nixon states the bus boycott was his idea and that of all the ministers he contacted for support, Martin Luther King was the only one who was reluctant to support a bus boycott. When Nixon called King back and pointed out that he would be the only minister not supporting the boycott and that a meeting about it would be held in his church, King finally agreed to support the boycott.

great civil rights film

The choir in the movie sounded very good. They should get credit for all the hard work that they put into the soundtrack of the film. They traveled for hours just to make it to the set. they set and waited for long hours, voices drained, and they still managed to sound incredible. they were talked about and criticized, but they overcame all the negative comments and still did their thing. they should at least appear on the credits. they stayed up all night on a school night just to record the soundtrack. that's dedication. the central high school show choir from Tuscaloosa, Alabama should get recognition for their incredible work and their outstanding voices. Mrs. Jocqualine Richardson, the director, does a wonderful job with these young kids.
