Red Tails

Today's Thoughtful Thing:

Watching Oprah's Next Chapter tonight with my hubby.  In this episode she interviews legendary film director George Lucas and two of the actors from his recently released film Red Tails, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard.

During the interview, Cuba shared with Oprah the pride his sons, 15 and 17, took in witnessing the film's trailer.  He said that in their locker room, as they prepared for a football game, they chanted a refrain taken from the movie as a rallying call for their team.  They shouted, "We fight!  We fight!  We fight!"  The pride on the actor's face was evident.



Hey, maybe a Thoughtful Thing for you To Do is to take your son or daughter to see and support this movie about an overlooked narrative in our shared American history.  That might be really cool.

Peace and Blessings,
