Anthony Mackie also among actors who have portrayed civil rights leader
The life, struggle and sacrifice of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. has been the inspiration for many films over the years, and TheWrap is honoring him with a look back at the films that took a closer look at his message and his fight. Of course, the most notable recnet film to look back at King is “Selma,” the 2014 film that raised director Ava DuVernay’s profile and brought the actor who played King, David Oyelowo, into the mainstream.
