The world has evolved rapidly and crossed over times of abnormal and unfair circumstances regarding colour inequality, and yet the perspective of some individuals are still stuck in the past, specifically during the times of slavery and colonialism
Here are some movies to help refresh our memories on the positive outcome of the overwhelming occurrences of the past;
THE BANKER
This is an authentic historical occurrence brilliantly presented. It is truly mind-blowing to discover that two black men quietly succeeded in possessing 177 buildings in cities where people were critically segregated based on race, class and religion and they still managed to employ a white man to pose for them. Because of the brave approaches of Bernard Garrette and Joe Morris, refusal to sell property on the basis of race, religion or gender became completely illegal.
HIDDEN FIGURES
Three outstandingly intelligent black women play crucial roles in astronaut John Glenn’s launch into orbit just as they struggle to ignore racial and gender discriminations they face at work. Katherine, Dorothy and Mary were able to fight back for their rights as human beings and they also succeeded in proving their worth as the colour of your skin should matter lesser than the abilities within.
