"The Defiant Ones" and "Edge of the City" are my favorites also as a teacher, "To Sir, With Love."

"Raisin in the Sun", "In the Heat of the Night", and "Lilies of the Field" are some of his best.

Things Mrs. HCP says to THE HCP every damned time. #BAM!!!

 

[crandc]

He was also a civil rights activist at a time when it meant risking career. He said his aim was to portray Black men of education, accomplishment and refinement. Like they said in Hamilton, immigrants get the job done!
