What is a movie or a story that compares to the story "The Flowers " by Alice Walker

There are a lot of movies out there that are centered around the persecution that black people received, and even some that deal specifically with lynchings, white violence, and the injustice surrounding these issues.  Try the movie "A Time to Kill" (also a novel by John Grisham), or "Mississippi Burning" if you are looking for movies that cover the injustice of a lot of the violence against blacks in the 50's-70's.  Then, for a book, I would suggest "Mississippi Trial, 1955" for a great book that covers the brutal murder of a Emmett Till that got unfair treatment in the courts.  It is an easy read, based on true events, and very interesting.  It is also similar to "The Flowers" because it is told from the perspective of a young boy.  If you want to add more Alice Walker to your list, you could try "The Color Purple", set in a bit different time period but about the struggle of black people to survive in a harsh world.  This has also been made into a movie.

Those are a few suggestions, and I hope that they help.
