A turning point in American History

It sounds to me like the last speech the actor playing Marshall gives to the court is dubbed by Morgan Freeman.

All in all the movie well portrayed the courageous decision the court made regarding the most important issue. While there were turbulent reactions to this ruling that continue to this very day, we in America can heart that we were able to resolve this in a court in a civilized way rather than by war and death. Still, fifty years later we have a way to go to really achieve equality and also realize the most important truth from this film: The one most important function of state and local government is to educate the children.
