    A classic anti-racist film
    "The Clinton 12" is a classic film about anti-racism for several reasons. First of all, the story it tells of an early deep-South school integration effort a year or so before Little Rock has tended to miss the history books. Obscure history is usually the most interesting to watch or read about. Secondly, the predicable racist Neanderthal goon squads arrive to make a mess of the effort, but what makes the event (and this film) remarkable is the way the town reacted as a whole to the knuckle-dragging racist thugs. The film shows what happens when people of good will work together and the producers (as well as the actual participants) deserve praise for preserving this amazing story as a good example to future generations.
