In "Selma", the focus is on important men in the history of civil rights, especially Martin Luther King Jr and President Johnson. As we saw in the lectures, however, women were integral and crucial to the civil rights movement and specifically the Selma campaign. Do you think it's a problem to continue focusing on the most famous people from the story of the civil rights movement? What benefit would we gain from films about people who were more behind the scenes?
