67 YEARS SINCE ROBINSON BROKE BASEBALL'S COLOUR BARRIER...
In honour of today's 67th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's first game in the Major Leagues, here are a few excellent recent films that document the struggle on the road to Black Equality:
42: The Jackie Robinson Story is an excellent biopic starring Chadwick Boseman and Harrison Ford, available at both stores.
12 Years A Slave: Best Picture winning true story of slave Solomon Northup's struggle to survive and overcome slavery.
The Butler: The true story of Eugene Allen's journey from child of
sharecroppers to a 34 year tenure as a White House Butler, where he
witnesses, first hand, the evolution of Civil Rights in the U.S.
Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom is based on Nelson Mandela's
autobiography about his early life, education and 27 years as prisoner
on Robben Island for traveling without a passport and sabotage.
