Week in Review
Sunday, July 19th, 2020Throwback Thursday-Selma, Syracuse & Civil Rights
Thursday, January 1st, 2015
Talk-show host George Kilpatrick interviewed Diane Nash at last year’s Cold Case Justice Initiative. Nash is portrayed in the new film by actor Tessa Thompson.
The film “Selma” came out last week (in select cities) and several of the key Civil Right’s leaders active during that march have appeared in Syracuse over the past few years. The roles of Dr. Martin Luther King and his wife Coretta are played brilliantly by David Oyelowo and Carmen Ejogo, but we were also impressed by the supporting cast.
Rev. C.T. Vivian was played in the film by actor Corey Reynolds.
In the film Selma, former ambassador Andrew Young was played by Andre’ Holland. Young spoke at an event at Syracuse University in 2012.
