Civil Right Movement American History Bundle – The Watsons Go to Birmingham & Selma 2-DVD Set

SELMA is the story of a motion. The movie chronicles the tumultuous three-month interval in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a harmful marketing campaign to safe equal voting rights within the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson (Tom Wilkinson) signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the vital vital victories for the civil rights motion. Director Ava DuVernay’s SELMA tells the actual story of how the revered chief and visionary Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his brothers and sisters within the motion prompted change that without end altered historical past.

Based mostly on the bestselling ebook, THE WATSONS GO TO BIRMINGHAM, the movie chronicles the odd interactions and on a regular basis routines of the Watsons, an African American household residing in Flint, Michigan, and the way they’re drastically modified after they go to go to Grandma in Alabama in the summertime of 1963.
