and it's anniversary week for the marches from selma to montgomery too

Amazing Grace, the movie, is good. It tells the story of abolition of slavery in Great Britain, and it tells the story of one man's passion and fury in fighting for change. It's uplifting for that reason. It's not so uplifting to remember that laws don't create equality. It's up to people to create equality, and we are still not doing so great in that department.
Those marches during the civil rights movement, those were in early March of 1965.
