Did you know that there are theaters that flat out refuse to show Slavery and Civil Rights movies? In 2016, The Edge 8 Theater in Greenville, Alabama refused to show The Birth of a Nation. Now, they are refusing to show Harriet. This is a disconsolating, disgusting feeling. #harriet #thebirthofanation #12yearsaslave #djangounchained #beloved #amistad #alexhaleysqueen #glory #awomancalledmoses #roots #stoptheban https://www.instagram.com/p/B49QJWLlTJHC3SQQnx2LsAW2M_--lwxDznQ1N40/?igshid=1k7lc8u6tq2og
