    This film had great dialogue about discrimination and its affects on 3 generations of a black family. Good advice for millenials as well. Nothings promised. Work hard without certainty. Be competitive .
    Racism is an added layer for Black people in America...and around the world

    I am glad that Jimmy's teach took an active role to inspire Jimmy by introducing him to successful people. The message to work hard, and never give up are good messages. Truth be told sometimes it is hard getting the opportunity for more education and training beyond high school. I wish we could create, and provide our own jobs instead of depending on others who over work and under pay us. Also, many get into debt with student loans to become better laborers for someone else while they are burdened with debt for decades.

    Thank you Sis. After this movie, I think the educational system for our ppl was corrupted. I remember going to inner city public school until the 11th grade. 12th grade is where I got the bulk of grade school education, bused to a white school. That's where I got the notion to continue my education. I knew if I wanted to compete I had too. Hope is what drives us, discouragements paralyzes us! I am glad to see our ppl waking up! You are a great help to this positve movement.

  • @samphillips3895

    This movie remains a classic, It should be placed in the archives or reproduce for the malineum, because they need to know about our past history and our struggles here in America, To help prepare for their future. I'm 70 now and the public schools I attended was not integrated and the book's we had was old and out dated, and the class rooms was over crowded, a very few teachers would ask you to stay after school to try and help you like the teacher in this movie did? Ask me they were over worked and under paid.

    With both my parents gone , viewing this reinforced how special they were.Left Harlem in 1958. relocated to the suburbs of New York. Long Island
    Mother was a RN, father a Supervisor at Harlem Hospital with a luchonette on 136
    Street
    Cross burning on own front lawn
    .Two black families on my block.
    Civil rights activists they were.
    Neighbors spitting on me when my ball went by their lawn...attending school with police being spat on.anothet boy in my class..he hung himself at 12
    My teacher told me to be a mail clerk.. shocked my mother was a RN.I wanted to be Uhuru. I did have my own business actually 2. Sadly the crab mentality destroyed both
    Nana said you have to be better.
    Education is the backbone of success...
    My family over achievers.. Generational wealth, nephew Navy Chief at 37, home owner at 33
    Focus on yourself, your education the sky is the limit.
    With encouragement goals can be met even though racism was so prevelant.
    Positive reinforcement required..24/7
    RIP Queen going to view her body in HARLEM on the 15..

    This is unbelievable. Nobody would ever say "Negro" or "Colored" today. Probably would get you shot. Cicely Tyson was so pretty. Billy Taylor directing music and on piano. Clark Terry on Trumpet. Charlie Rouse on tenor. Band of Stars.

      The song that they played is Billy Taylor's "A Bientot." In addition to Billy Taylor, Clark Terry, and Charlie Rouse, the band also included Doug Watkins on bass and Ray Mosca on drums.

    Nice neighborhood. If our neighborhood remained the same. White Folk would have never have to worry about us moving next door to them. White Folk need to realized that we were not enthused as well, to live next to them . They were not the aspiring symbol. Their neighborhoods were being maintained. And their tax paying monies were reapplied was n their neighborhood.😘
