Deacons for Defense Reviews:
Just something!
2009-11-21 - This was just a dvd that I thought I just see, no big deal, just a movie to catch because of the actors.

Deacons for Defense
2009-11-03 - This movie is great! It's a piece of the civil rights era that has been ignored and needs to be publicized.

WERE YOU THERE?
2009-02-17 - Were you there? Were you there when they crucified My Lord. Were you there when they abused My Children? Were you there when they tried to dehuminize My Mother? Were you there when they lynched My Father? If you weren't there, then don't tell me kkk could not be diabolical. Don't tell me My Fathers and My Brothers did not feel compelled to defend themselves. Perhaps some things may have been stretched for dramatic purpose. But, the lesson is there. I don't mind my children watching this. It let's them know, we did not all march around singing 'We Shall Overcome.' Sometimes some of us felt the need to overcome right now. Some may have given their lives for the struggle. But, many did not feel the need to go gently into that noose. So, if you weren't there, let my story be told.

A shameful slice of American History
2009-01-13 - This film showed how America once was. It's a window into a world that people, under 50 have no idea about. I think this film is good for black as well as white. Great acting and worthwhile watching.

awsome movie
2007-05-12 - I don't know why this wasn't made into a blockbuster,tells of the racism in the 60's and how a group of black men decided not to take it anymore.Based on a true story.
