60 of 173 · most liked first"Mississippi Burning", 1988 movie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you've never seen it, watch it. If you have seen it before, it's worth watching again. This quote by Maya Angelou comes to mind: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better". Oh, if only that were the way of things.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched “Mississippi Burning” tonight in honor of Gene Hackman. Holy crap that movie is truth and has incredible relevance right now. If you’re looking for a way to understand why so many people are acting so afraid right now, watch this movie about 1960s Jim Crow.
