Oprah did very well as Mrs. Bethune! Mrs. Bethune was a person who early on had earned a seat at the (decision) table. Inside a US President’s circle of advisors.

One icon portraying another icon.

Powerful.

My family is African-American. We thought the movie was touching, strong and very well-told story to us. The cast did an awesome job with being real, in situations that were hard and depicted struggles honestly. Kudos & thanks to Mr. James, Director Freeland and the Reservation team for bringing the film to audiences everywhere. We would like to hear more in-depth about the true story & people the movie was based on.
