A small number of students gathered in Carver Hall to take in a movie and discuss it afterward.

All this month, the Black Student Alliance has been holding a variety of events in honor of Black History Month. On Wednesday night, “Get on the Bus,” a 1996 film directed by Spike Lee which focuses on black men on a bus trip headed to the Million Man March was shown.

The movie shows the men, their journey and that they have nothing in common but the color of their skin. Even though at times they didn’t like each other, they all came together for the march. The movie also had comedic touches, showing that these men were comfortable being around each other, even though they disagreed with certain situations that pertained to black men in general.

“I like how it shows that this march brings people together, and how it also shows the history and journey of our black history and what changes we can start to make,” said Courtney Thomas, junior in pre-journalism and mass communication.

The movie concluded in a surprising manner. Although there was not a large number of people in the audience, the discussion at the end of the movie brought conversation throughout the auditorium.

“After watching the movie, I thought it was good because these men all headed to Washington, D.C., for a specific purpose,” said Kasei James, sophomore in public service and administration in agriculture.

The flim showed that the individuals were there for one another when times were hard and while unexpected changes occurred during the bus trip.

“The movie made me feel good after watching it, to see our people come together as well as the black men who are often left out in movements,” Thomas said.

Lashawn Wright, sophomore in communication studies, said she enjoyed the movie.

“Especially at the end, working things out with themselves before they start worrying about other people,” Wright said.
