Dramatizes the events in 1955-1956 in Montgomery, Alabama, when blacks boycotted public transport becuase they were forced to sit at the back. Odessa works as a maid for the Thompsons, and as well as she is treated, she feels it is her duty to walk to work, even if it means she is exhaused, and gets to work late.
50,000 Boycotted AMEN! Thank you for Paving a Road i don't have to walk that was filled with Hate, Murder, Blood, Lies & Ignorance so that I can take the bus Unharassed, that I can drink from a fountain Unmolested, that I can go to school & not be treated like a Piece of Dirt! I say THANK U 2 all those people who I Never met but made Life a lot easier 4 me including any Caucasian that Helped through the Struggle in whatever way! God knows it took great Courage 2 Stand Up 2 that HATE! God Bless.

@amyliz143ny yea, i have to skip some parts because this is hard to watch, and my mom grandma was living through this, and its just hard to believe that people could think they were above someone else

I know it's just a movie, but some parts are so hard to watch. I don't care what people say regarding racism being the 'norm' back then, there's no way I'd ever look at an entire race of people as second to or less than my own. That's pitiful.
