I was thrilled to be in this movie, and enjoyed it even not knowing if my scene would make the final cut. I was living in Richmond, VA, where they shot many scenes. Seemed like Richmond looked more like Dallas in 1963 at the time. I was in the church riot scene, where the ugly white mob (that would be me!) was throwing rocks at a church where Martin Luther King was supposedly preaching. The rocks were foam, and the church we were throwing the foam rocks at had been a church, but had since been turned into condos. We (the mob) torched cars, yelled screamed racial slurs, it was a different experience. It hasn't been repeated until about a year ago, on the History Channel. It may be repeated each November. Check it out!
