The Help-A prospective in the life of domestics
The Help is a popular movie that was released in 2011. The Help was a movie that took viewers into the life of female black domestics in the south during the 1960s. The film covered the growing racial tensions between blacks and whites as well as the subordinate culture of domestics during that time. I felt as though this movie truly related to the Anderson article that we read. Although black and white relates have gotten progressively better throughout the decades, I believe that both Spencer and Davis made a valid point in the video. They stated that although there isn't (really) a black "help", but instead the help now a days are Mexicans and Guatemalans. I thought that that was a very captivating statement. Especially after seeing the film on immigration.
