Good morning non-black Latinos! Ava Duvernay's "Selma" opens today in NY and LA and I want to encourage you to see it on opening day.

As non-black Latinos with our own set of oppressions, we find it hard to admit the ways in which we consume blackness.

We can identify with black things or take black music and language. But we don't always know how to show solidarity when it counts.

Going to see Selma today accomplishes many things. For starters, it contributes to a good opening day for a black woman director.

It also means that more non-black Latinos will learn a bit about a few weeks in the life of a complicated man named Martin Luther King, Jr.

Most of us non-black Latinos celebrated Christmas last night and are looking for something to do anyway. That something is to go see Selma.
