The Vernon Johns Story (1994 TV Movie)
Was a very nice movie overall

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was a pretty good movie overall, it showed that civil rights movments were occurring across the country before Martin Luther King Junior came in to play. One thing I find very interesting about the movie is that Vernon John was a pastor at the same church Martin Luther King would later be the head pastor of . Vernon John was one of the main roots of starting civil rights like not riding the bus and refusing to movie from a whites only seat. He was also not afraid to stand up for what he believed while preaching also all his messages contained so sort of content about how racial segregation needed to end not just his Alabama but across America. Even when some of his own fellow African Americans asked him to stop he still wen on preaching the message that African Americans are separate but they are not equal.
