This is a very interesting story a true story to be exact. I’ve been to book a place it’s still exist. It’s not functional, but it’s there. It was amazing. Just unbelievable to be there to see this place and Mississippi.
This is is a poignant documentary that delves into the history of race relations in the American South through the lens of a 1966 television segment. The film revisits the life of Booker Wright, a Black waiter who, in a courageous moment, spoke out against the systemic racism prevalent in Mississippi. His candid remarks on television sparked significant backlash, leading to a personal and social upheaval. The documentary not only highlights Wright's bravery but also examines the broader impact of his actions on the civil rights movement and the lasting legacy of racial injustice in the region. Through archival footage and interviews with those who knew Wright, the film provides a powerful reflection on the ongoing struggle for racial equality.
I was born in Greenwood Mississippi. My family moved to Chicago when I was seven years old. I went back this November and it needs to be rehab. I wouldn't want to move back there if you paid me. Boring!
This is a very interesting true story. Giving information about Booker Wright who was an African-American waiter who worked in a restaurant for whites only.
You should get your facts straight. Firstly, the original filmmaker, Frank De Felitta is Italian, not Jewish. Secondly, your comments about Jews being slave owners...in the south is just ridiculous. Mainly because the anti-semites who ruled the south disliked Jews, just as much as people of color. Here's your fact, not opinion: "In 1830 there were only four Jews among the 11,000 Southerners who owned fifty or more slaves" -Historical Facts vs. Antisemitic Fictions, 1993
Excellent we all needed to know about about Mr Booker thanks so much for filming him and posting this 👍🏾
