The Birth of a Nation - Confrontation and Reflection on Violence
Nat Turner:
You need to tell me who done this to you. Cause I'm gonna take care of it, you hear? On my soul. I need you to tell me now.
Cherry Turner:
Put up again thy sword into His place. For all they that take the sword... shall pass with the sword." You taught me that.

The Birth of a Nation - Call to Sing a New Song to God
Nat Turner: [preaching to slaves after watching a horrific scene between a slave and slave owner]
Brethren, I pray you'll sing to the Lord, a new song. Sing praise in assembly of the righteous. Let the saints be joyful in glory, let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praise of God be on the mouths of the saints and a two-edged sword in their hand to execute vengeance on the demonic nations! And punishment on those peoples! To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fens of iron! To execute on them this written judgement! This honor have all his saints! PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE THE LORD! SING TO HIM A NEW SONG! PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE THE LORD!

The Great Debaters - The Impact of Poverty on Human Dignity
Henry Lowe:
A brilliant young woman I know was asked once to support her argument in favor of social welfare. She named the most powerful source imaginable: the look in a mother's face when she cannot feed her children. Can you look that hungry child in the eyes? See the blood on his feet from working barefoot in the cotton fields. Or do you ask his baby sister with her belly swollen from hunger if she cares about her daddy's work ethics?
