Quotes
Col. Margarethe Cammermeyer:
People ask, "Who are you?" We are their daughters, their sisters, their sons, their nurses, their mechanics, their athletes, their police. We're your doctors, your fathers, your politicians, your solidiers, your mothers, your friends. We live with you, we care for you, protect you, teach you, love you and need you. All we ask is that you let us.

I have met Grethe Cammermeyer, she has ridden in my car, and she has teased me. This movie does not bring to the viewer the depth of passion that she brings to her fight for Civil Rights. I think those that watch it can learn a lot about the fight that many people go through to feel comfortable in their lives. Well worth watching.
