Review of the Movie Lee Daniels' The Butler

There will be much conversation about this film. As a child of the Civil Rights Movement and one who attended The March On Washington because My Mom, Betty J. Tilman of Pittsburgh, PA was a Civil Rights Foot Soldier, I would like to say that I cried often throughout "Lee Daniels' The Butler". One fact can Not be denied. It is a good place to start/re-ignite a conversation of the American History Civil Rights Foot Soldiers; and the work we still have to do to bring Equity and Solidarity with Compassion and Love to Our Hearts. Thank You for Making this movie which deeply stirs My Soul, and Hopefully the Souls of Many in Our Nation and throughout the World. As Dr. King Jr. once Said---'Where Do We Go From Here?" I Stand with All of You with HOPE for Healing and Reconciliation!---Melony McGant
