Knock Knock.

A spoken word poet by Daniel Beaty. The poem itself hits you like a brick wall, it brings up memories that want to be forgotten or opens your eyes to the tragedies of people's childhoods. But the main reason to me is strength and inspiration. Strength to handle life's horrible changes, inspiration to move past them, strength to grow up without a father, inspiration to become one, having the strength to become an inspiration, and inspiration to find strength.

The video relates to The Help by saying that people don't need to relive their parent mistakes or theirs before them. You have the choice to take action and fight back, to live. And that's what the maid in The Help did. They rose up and took action against racism by releasing their stories of racism to open eyes across the nation.
