Michael B. Jordan stars in Warner Bros. Pictures' JUST MERCY along with Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson

Most of us probably don’t know Bryan Stevenson, Walter McMillian, or the unfortunate set of circumstances that brought them together.

(L-r) Aldis Hodge, Neil Brown, Jr., Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell and O'Shea Jackson, Jr. star in Universal Pictures' "Straight Outta Compton"

In life, influential figures from various segments of society are often forgotten by future generations. It’s something that occurs for a plethora of reasons, but failing to remember who and what came before you never really helps anyone. That’s why films like Straight Outta Compton are good to have around. If they’re done correctly, these kinds of pictures can give …
