Martin Sheen portrays Judge Frank Minis Johnson Jr., one of the unsung heroes of the civil rights movement. #Selma #TCMParty
I would also recommend the made for TV movie George Wallace directed by John Frankenheimer with Gary Sinise playing George Wallace. #Selma #TCMParty
Bloody Sunday: the day violence inflicted on nonviolent protestors galvanized the country behind the Civil Rights Movement. Why? We saw it from sea to shining sea in our living rooms. #Selma #TCMParty
If memory serves me correct, the FBI surveillance tapes of Martin Luther King, Jr. are scheduled to remain sealed in the National Archives until January 31, 2027, under a 1977 court order. #Selma #TCMParty
It feels like a good time to mention the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. Absolutely should be visited by everyone! #Selma #TCMParty
The murder of Jimmie Lee Baker was done by Atlanta state trooper James Bonard Fowler. He was not convicted for the murder until 2010. At the time #Selma was released, Fowler was still alive and died months in July 2015. #TCMParty

But an absolute must see is the National Center for Civil and Human Right which is located downtown. It’s amazing, heartbreaking and inspiring all at the same time.
