A00027 - In Celebration of Women's History Month Watch "Women of the Movement"

 

As with my reading and my writing, my television viewing sometimes gets delayed.  Such was the case with my viewing of the six hour limited series entitled "Women of the Movement".  Originally scheduled for February, I spent last night binge watching the series.  Focusing on the murder of Emmett Till and the subsequent courageous journey of his mother, Mamie Till Mobley, whose actions helped to spark the Civil Rights Movement, the series is one that while stirring up painful memories is one that should be watched.  

As it happens, March is Women's History Month.  I do not know how others celebrate or commemorate the month, but I, for one, could think of no better way than to dedicate some time this month to watching "Women of the Movement" and, perhaps, reflecting on the sacrifices that so many women such as Mamie Till Mobley made to make this world a better place.

Now, I have done my due diligence.  It is time to get some sleep.

Peace,

P.S. Kudos to Jay-Z and Will Smith who are listed among the producers of this limited series.  Along with Lebron James' involvement with a documentary on the Tulsa Race Massacre, this limited series gives me great hope that the hip-hop generation just might be on the right course.  Stay tuned.
