The Vernon Johns Story (1994)
A great story and fantastic film.
30 June 1999 - 9 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
The film tells the story of the Reverend Vernon Johns' struggle for equality in America in the 1960's.
James Earl Jones delivers an all-round stunning dialog playing the reverend of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery, Alabama - a name that most should recognise.
He constantly oversteps his mark when preaching, telling the people who let the white americans run their lives what he -really- thinks of them, cowards, and as he gains more and more attention - eventually demanding to be served in a white-only cafe, but at the end of the film there comes a fantastic little twist.
A very worthwhile watch!
