    in this movie, the treatment of Black people as well as those who are labeled as such, brings me to tears. It happens to be that the movie is now available as a DVD that you can purchase and watch the movie in full color and clarity. I feel that all school children should watch this movie in order to be taught a lesson that all people need to be respected and treated equally.. ❤❤❤

    It's maddening to watch all of the fine manners and civility on display by the truly evil slave masters who made the lives of enslaved people hellish. At one point, one of those fine men muses about how Roxie's white skin would make her a very desirable and profitable sex slave in one New Orleans hellish bordellos. Sex trafficking then was just as evil as it is today. In real life, the existence of white passing enslaved people was used to persuade Americans that fighting to end slavery was necessary because the fear that free whites could be kidnapped and enslaved was a possibility. One thing the story doesn't touch upon is who was Roxie's father or the father of Roxie's child? Another slave? A rapist enslaver? It is true that some enslavers did free their children and their mothers. (Thomas Jefferson never did free Sally Hemmings.. He kept his children in bondage until they were at least 21, letting some flee bondage, and finally freeing others. Yup, Jefferson was awful. He didn't even free Hemmings in his will. He died and left her as property to be inherited to.his heirs. He played with that poor woman's mind from age 14 through her 40s. Thank God, Jefferson's heirs took pity on her. Anyway, folks like John Brown are not held high enough in esteem for their noble and ferocious quest to help their fellow man. Brown was not perfect, but he surely had the courage to not turn his head away to ignore monstrous evil.
