"The Help" and the struggle for Afrcan American Equality

  In the movie, "The Help," African-American maids were mistreated and wanted to let the world know how they were being mistreated by agreeing for a White women writer to collect their stories and create a book. The movie reveals how American-Americans were not respected with the same equality as others.
    In one incident, African-American maids were underpaid. They received  95cents an hour and 182dollars a month. Often the maids were unable to send their children to school because they needed them to work to help provide money to support their family. Also, their child that were able to make it though school were unable to make it to college because their parents could not afford to send them to college with their low wages. African-American maids were unable to get any extra money because Whites thought that African-Americans did not deserve anything that they did not work for even though, they did more work than the Whites.
   In another incident, African-American maids had to use separate restrooms and appliances. White people did not want to share the same things as African-Americans because they did not want to catch diseases. Whites looked down to African-Americans because they are "colored."
   In a third incident, African-Americans already knew what they would become when they were born because of what their mother's were, a maid. When the maids were born they did not choose to work as slaves, they were deprived of anything they wanted to be and forced to work as a maid. Maids that did not follow orders were yelled at, abused, and even fired. 
    The importance of, "The Help," is to rebel against mistreatment as the African-American maids helped create the book about their stories to release the truth about how Whites were treating them. The movie helps people open up their eyes to various and curl mistreatment. People takes freedom as a given but back then for those African-American maids freedom was not given nor a choice. As years passes by our world has changed in enormous ways, for the better and worst. The benefit this movie gave is to be thankful for having freedom and appreciate that slavery no longer exists.
