Law study compared to The Ghost of Mississippi

In the movie "The ghost of Mississippi" are multiple examples of why it illustrates our key concepts of unit 1. Firstly the movie went down in an era when there was extreme discrimination against any "coloured" poeple therefore creating a "black vs. whites" main plot which we studied in class. Throught out the movie you can also see that the actions of one man can change or make a dent in an important issue, similar to the individuals we studied in class.

This true story speaks to us about how an elderly black woman fights versus the white lawyers and judges to serve justice to the man who killed her husband. In class we studied how the law is blind to some in the legal system, one of the lessons that we studied that includes blindness in the law was the "whites vs. blacks", where the whites would stand a higher ground than the blacks and could get away with something terrible such as murder. This is what happens in the movie and even though fighting for it took 27 years Miss.Evers finally got some peace at mind knowning she put the bad man in jail. Without this blindness, there shouldnt have been 27 years of fighting an countless amounts of hours could have been placed in other cases much needed help. To conclude, the "white vs. blacks" issue was a key concept in unit 1 that was represented durring the movie. Richard Sauve who went against the government for the right to vote while in prison, made a significant change that no one
