in this film i remember black folks sweating. know, i remember the skin replenishing itself, being moist, that's alive. in this film the make-up person was told no powder, only oil. you got grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, to allow skin to reflect the light. i think our visual approach because it's coming from my memory of what it felt like to live this experience, and we're allowing ourselves to be rooted in the collection of the character, it arrives fresh and different. i think people when they see the images, receive them, they feel like they're seeing things for the first time even though they may have seen a story like there before, they haven't seen it told in this way. the visuals have a lot to do with that. >> it must make you feel awfully good to know that not only is the film nominated, screenplay, adapted screenplay, film for best picture, as i said earlier, best director for you. you have two cast members nominated for big awards. talk to me about the casting. clearly in retrospect it was brilliant casting. wh

it was quite interesting for black folk who knew they had been called here -- hauled here against their -- and then sending them back on ships so this organization invited garrison to speak at their annual fundraising event in boston on independence day in 1829. in this speech, garrison, who is this young editor -- he hadn't started the liberator yet. he says in the peach i'm sick our hypocritical captain about the right of man if we should bin a gradual abolition of slavery, not promoting couplization, and then ten days later he went to a black church in boston and went to a celebration of england's abolition of the slave trade. so at this event a white clergyman addressed the crowd and during this lecture, he advocated that emancipation right now was not wise or prudent, and that black people needed a long period of time qualifying them for freedom. basically black people were not ready for freedom. and so garrison, when this speaker said this, he heard this murmur go through the crowd you. know how the crowd gets angry. and heard this murmur and caused him to think about about what h

bloody battles, including one from 1965 not far from here where protesters marching for the right of black folks were beaten back my troopers and police officers. but today, again, while they celebrate those many gains, there is concern that the current administration and republicans across the country have dialed back on those voting rights across the country in the last sen years or so many states have implemented voter id laws. there was a moment of c controversy and news where some of the plans for that march had taken place. jon merrill promoted the states voter id laws, at which point, reverend stood up and walked out. once outside, he said this is hallow ground that should not be disrespected. he said those marchers did not march for voter id but for full voting rights. let's take a listen to what jesse jackson had to say today. >> it was not just for blacks. blacks can vote and serve on juries. you can vote on campus. you couldn't get delegates. all that stuff changed because jefferson -- jefferson -- attorney jeff sessions is against the voting rights act of 1965. >> reporter: the big t

justice. 50 years later after so many people fault a very bloody struggle to earn the right for black folkso vote in this country and access to the franchise, we see so many of those rights being dialed back, section 5 of the voting rights act gutted and jeff sessions saying the provision wasn't needed. i think mr. brooks and other folks in the justice community would have a different story to tell, especially in a community like selma. alabama passed a very strict voter i.d. law. these communities throughout the south especially, once the cameras and once the civil rights workers left, they have dilapidat dilapidated. so that meeting last week was a good first start i'm sure everyone would say but is it enough. 50 years later after bloody sunday, after so many people laid their bodies on the line for this right to vote and to see that repealed is troubling for many. >> cherylyn, you're part of a panel later honing in on this question of voting rights. you've now had the department of justice under jefferson sessions file a motion to dismiss the previous doj claim that was made when attorne
