3. I remember watching this when HBO first aired it

Very stylistic and powerful film that didn't sugarcoat what went on during that period. And as a rare treat, it even covered Ida B. Wells who is often left out of the history of the suffrage movement, where there was inherent racism that ran rampant within it (Wells was usually more well known for her pursuit of documenting and reporting on lynchings).

6. She was an amazing, courageous woman. I am glad that that part of the

movement was definitely not sugarcoated.

7. I think one of the most powerful segments in the movie was the parade

Basically shows how far it appears we have come but in reality we haven't gone very far.

8. so very true.
