The Long Walk Home
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Long Walk Home was a 1990 film starring Sissy Spacek and Whoopi Goldberg.
The film was set in Montgomery, Alabama during the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott, and featured Goldberg as a young African-American maid, employed by a young white woman, played by Spacek. When Goldberg's character decides to honor the bus boycott, opting to walk several miles to and from her employer's home, her employer decides to offer her a ride, thus thrusting both women into the politically charged situation. It showed how hard it was for the boycotters not riding the bus was, or if they did then they could get beaten by the others riding it.
