p.s. I DVR'd another film earlier today about Thurgood that aired on the Centric network titled: Separate But Equal
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102879/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
It's a two part film - Sidney Poitier plays the role of Thurgood Marshall - it was a really good film.
Get this - the total air time for both parts was 5 1/2 hours,
the actual film is only 3 hours - so they put in 2 1/2 hours of commercials!
Unbelievable!
Thank goodness for the 'fast forward' button
