@Tmoneyram I think that it’s totally unfair because they are so used to a corrupt system that they don’t want change. It’s truly heartbreaking because they worked just as hard to gain their rights!!

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

Mrs. Jackson’s house reminds of all the people who were involved in really helping to fight for Cuvil Rights. She housed all the people including MLK without charging them anything to help push the mission forward. Now that’s what I call a team player! #MESelma18

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

The part where the guy assaults MLK in Selma is foreshadowing all the terrible things White people would do to those trying to fight the corrupt system #MESelma18

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

When MLK roasts the President about all the bad things occurring towards African American people and makes the President seem useless compared to their issues in the South. #MESelma18

@spatel660 I agree with this statement because he encouraged people to fight racism and discrimination with non-violence compared Malcolm X who wanted to use violence.

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

The scene at the beginning where Oprah is talking to the white man really puts it in perspective of how hard African Americans had to work just to please white people. #MESelma18

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

@SvetozarTheGr8 That reminds me of general stereotypes people make about a certain group of people!!

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

@cposkozim It’s hard to figure out his name without captions😂😂

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

@Tmoneyram I agree with the point you’ve made about the American struggle! I bet a lot of people can relate to this

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MEAmericanTail17 when the mouse immigrants are coming from everywhere including Russia and Germany reminded me of when the Irish were coming to America to escape British persecution

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MEAmericanTail17 when Bible gets separated from his family on his way to America reminded me of slave families being separated from their loved ones during the Colombian Exchange

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MEAmericanTail17 when the immigrant mice find out that there are cats in America reminds me of the struggles that immigrants faced from nativist groups

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MEAmericanTail17 when the Mouseowitz were being persecuted by the cats, it reminded me of the fact that many people were escaping persecution on their way to America

@BaekAllison I think that Lincoln’s passion for passing the 13th amendment had to do with the fact that he was from the North! They already were against slavery and this just encouraged him even more which was a great thing!

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MELincoln17 when the 13th amendment is passed, there are mixed emotions running through everyone, but the most tragic part of the movie was when Lincoln was passing through Petersburg and seeing all the dead bodies lying around!

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MELincoln17 when Lincoln’s advisor is like “You could end this war now by calling the delegates up North and not passing the 13th Amendment” but we all know that Lincoln had other plans! Sorry Grant, we still in this mess

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MELincoln17 when I was watching the scene with the voting of the 13th amendment, it reminded me of an episode from Designated Survivor when they were also voting on an amendment! They been using the same system for so long!!!

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MELincoln17 I wonder what’s more busy: the stock exchange or the way Lincoln’s cabinet worked? I think the most important part of this scene is Lincoln’s speech about Washington!

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MELincoln17 Best line in the movie so far was “Put those shoes back into the box you scoundrel” during the scene when Lincoln is talking to the man in a room before he went to see his wife

[Jiral Modi @msjiral14]

#MELincoln17 what’s more tense: taking the AP exam or when the peacemakers are on their way to meet with Lincoln and the delegates on slavery?
