Boycott advance no sound12/27/2022 ![]() ![]() Add this movie's role to Wright's list of accomplishments. Not all roles were equal and not all roles were even noteworthy, but he crushed every role he got. Since "Shaft" I've seen him in "Critical Care," "The Manchurian Candidate," "Lady in the Water," "The Invasion," "The Hunger Games" (Catching Fire and Mockingjay Part 1 and 2), "Game Night," and "Westworld" the TV series.

"Boycott" featured movement leaders such as Ralph Abernathy (Terrence Howard), Jo Ann Robinson (CCH Pounder), E.D. It's a closer look at the bus boycott and its leaders and its participants rather than a macro look at the civil rights movement or just a focus on Martin Luther King, Jr. "Boycott" is about the bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama that lasted 381 days. Even with that being the case Rosa Parks refused to relinquish her seat to a white person and a movement quietly and auspiciously began. Jim Crow laws were prevalent and white supremacy was the order of the day. 1955 Montgomery, Alabama is not a warm and nostalgic place and time for most Black folks. ![]()
