Very worthy!

Superbly portrayed account of actual events during a time of great social upheaval in American History. I lived through these times - although too young to appreciate the significance of the events. I can't praise the actor who portrays Dr. M.L. King too highly!! Why isn't he nominated for Best Actor????? Whilst the storyline is an embarrassment to white American history at home, it is also a testament to how far we have come since that time. Of course, we are all aware that there still exists some racial injustices, but things don't change overnight. They take time. We have an African-American president - who would have thought that even ten years ago??? We shouldn't dwell too much on our failures, but look at how far we've come. There's still a lot to do. This is a must-see movie. A great man with great dignity. A true visionary who was sadly taken too soon. I hope when the history of these times are written, full acknowledgment is given to the Motown Record Corporation for its role in strengthening relations between the younger generations of white and black people.
