Flickipedia's Movies for Martin Luther King Day
"This holiday (signed into holiday law by a reluctant, King-bashing President Ronald Reagan in 1983) is designated to officially honor the civil rights struggle of the postwar years. In terms of movies, it's also the day to choose whether to watch a recently released, righteously enlightened film on American race relations or an older, illuminatingly bigoted one—either choice may, in fact, impart the same lesson. Consider the following to honor Black History Month as well."
—From Flickipedia: Perfect Films for Every Occasion, Holiday, Mood, Ordeal, and Whim (2008), by Michael Atkinson and Lauren Shifrin.
There were only eight films on the list, so I added the last two. I'm sure the authors would agree that they are most fitting.
