As the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is coming up, Selma is a very suitable movie to watch. This award-winning movie features a story about Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march from Selma to Montgomery, in the hopes to gain equal voting rights. This march ended up with President Lyndon B. Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which is considered to be one of the biggest victories in the civil rights movements. Directed by Ava DuVernay, Selma stars many fantastic actors, such as David Oyelowo, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Wilkinson, and Carmen Ejogo.
