- Yes, “Son of the South” is a 1960s civil rights movie about a white hero with real-life Black icons such as Rosa Parks and the Rev. Ralph Abernathy relegated to supporting roles in the story, and yes, this is an old-fashioned and borderline corny biopic that looks like it could have been made 40 years ago — but it’s also a true-life story about a man who denounced his racist lineage and dedicated himself to the cause, a man who is still with us today, and it’s a story well worth telling.
