The Help

Great movie from the 60's, and also very related to the topic I've been working on that's present in "To kill a mockingbird", racism. In the movie it's shown how whites and blacks are both humans with same rights but they should not live together. "Separate but equal". This means for me, they are the same but separated by a skin color that makes more powerfull one race than the other. In a way, both were humans but one of 'em (afroamericans) were not supposed to have contact with the other's life, and the whites were like "owners" of blacks. They would be maids, bus drivers (just for blacks, not mixed with whites), gardeners. And they would use different toilets, as I allready mentioned different transports, places to live, etc. So I can't find were they were equal, maids were afraid of telling their stories because they could die doing it.
This movie help you to fight for what you want and what you think is right now matter what the other (the society) thinks, that in this movie was the most racist society ever, promoved by the Jim Crow Laws, economical crisis, among others. But with will and decision you can move mountains... well, do what you want at least.
