In this week's episode of the Historian's Movie Review I look at the 1990 movie The Long Walk Home starring Whoopie Goldberg and Sissy Spacek.
Topics discussed include the Montgomery Bus Boycotts, Martin Luther King Jr., and the true story about Rosa Parks.
NSFW - use of racially insensitive language in the film.
Correction - The Montgomery Boycott lasted from December 1, 1955 - December 20, 1956
