Freedom Song



         I woke up early this morning and found this gem of a movie on Comcast Pay Per View.  It was originally a TNT feature. Danny Glover leads a mostly black cast of Freedom Fighters whom are living in the deep south before (I assume) the Martian Luther campaign.

         I could not take my eyes of this movie for the entire 117-minute length of the film. Martian Luther King is never mentioned during this film and I approve. It allows the focus to be on the other African Americans whom struggled during this time. (and before it)

         I’d recommend this film to anyone. It kept me glued to my recliner the entire length of the film and I was more than awake after seeing it first thing in the moring.

A note from an editor!

Hi Matthew,


Thank you for the time and effort you put into this piece, especially on a Saturday morning. I can tell you definitely took good notes of everything that was going on during the event!


We still have some work to do before this piece is ready to print. Your piece has a lot of information, but it doesn’t sound like a news article. What was the point of his speech/presentation? Why was he addressing this audience? What is Vanguard? What does the company do – who does it serve? You spend a lot of time narrating (for example, how he was injured), but did not report on the purpose of the event. You can maybe mention his appearance/joking about it in a sentence or two, but do not take several paragraphs to do so. Also, I like how you mentioned where the name “Vanguard” comes from.


There are a lot of spelling errors in this piece – make sure you proof read each sentence carefully.


I know I am getting back to you a little later I hoped, and I’m sorry about that! But if you have time tonight, please go through my suggestions and try to rework your piece. You can send me what you have tonight/tomorrow morning. Please bring a copy of it to the meeting tomorrow and we will discuss it further from there.


Once again, thanks for your hard work and promptness! Remember this is a learning process, and we are all part of the Waltonian team!


Talk to you soon!
