12 Years a Slave

I didn't have the stomach to watch this movie in the theater.  I knew it would take me places that I wasn't ready to venture.  It is important that we know where we come from and pay homage to those that have fought and died so that we may enjoy the privileges before us.  So many people endured conditions that we can't even fathom.  To be free one minute and then enslaved the next with no one to hear your plea is despicable.  But it happened.  And sadly it is still happening.  I learned that no matter what, just keep moving forward.  God will give you justice.  Overall I enjoyed the movie and I appreciate all of my ancestors.
