It’s a favorite Jimmy Stewart flick.

“I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness and a little looking out for the other fella, too.” - Jimmy Stewart as newly elected U.S. senator Jefferson Smith in “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington,” 1939
* this is the scene in #freshprinceofbelair where #willsmith decided it was ok to use the colonizers' dehumanizing pejorative for first nations women, and refer to ALL the young ladies he's playing with as squaws
even the crowd knew what #mrsmith said was wrong, but #smith doesn't care and has not apologized or even acknowledged it, while his fans have attacked me verbally with so much anger and h8rd... for raising awareness of how it contributed to fns women being so easily disrespected 🙄

“Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will Boys ought to grow up remembering that.”
