      Lester M A blast from the past of great storytelling. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Good lord, has this not aged well. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Seems the 90's had more positivity than any other decade. Also the greatest generation of cartoons. This isn't an typical boring cartoon of history but rather an excellent and quite entertaining piece of history that children should see! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Perfectly fine, and informative on a basic level on the journey towards desegregation. Great after-school special. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie about MLK fun for teachers to show to students! Ages 6+ Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this movie haven't watched it since middle school Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Dated movie about MLK Jr. offers positive lessons for kids. Rated: 3/5 Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Brian Webster Apollo Guide At times, the shift from cartoon to news footage seems a bit forced, but it works most of the time. Rated: 72/100 Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
