The Butler

the-butler-articleFor What It’s Worth ~

I have to admit my wife sort of pressured me into seeing this movie. Which now I’m thankful to have seen it. The movie takes a black boy from the cotton fields of Georgia to being a butler in the White House. Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey played some excellent parts. It shows how he grew up and everything black Americans were going through.  It took us through the civil rights movements, to black panthers, to the first black president. Which as a child would have bet you would not have happened in my lifetime. We’ve came a long way since then.

Everyone needs to see this movie, both black and white. To see what our parents and grandparents went through. Awesome Movie!!!
