Sharing from POST: Saw

. Heart wrenching, yes. But anchored by a truly extraordinary performance by Danielle Deadwyler, it is a lovely and empowering film. It was critical to see Mrs. Till’s agency centered in this film. Grieving women fought in the Civil Right Mvmt.

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 I can't decise what's worse; the PDA as they celebrate the verdict, or the cheering in the room as the verdict was read. Every white person in the room celebrating this murder like Till was not a child.

always deserved more than this, so did Mamie.
