12 Angry Men is a film about a group of jurors tasked with deciding the guilt or innocence of a young man accused of murder. As they deliberate, they must confront their own biases and preconceptions, and ultimately decide what justice truly means.
The main theme of 12 Angry Men is the dangers of groupthink and the importance of individual critical thinking. Throughout the film, the jurors are influenced by their own personal biases and the pressure to conform to the group's majority opinion. They are reluctant to challenge the dominant narrative and consider alternative perspectives, even when new information is presented.
As the film progresses, however, one juror, known as Juror 8, consistently challenges the group's assumptions and pushes them to consider the possibility of reasonable doubt. He encourages the other jurors to think for themselves and not blindly follow the majority, highlighting the importance of independent critical thinking.
Another theme of the film is the role of justice in society. The jurors are tasked with determining the guilt or innocence of the accused, and as they deliberate, they must grapple with the consequences of their decision. They must consider not only the evidence presented, but also the broader implications of their verdict on the accused and on society as a whole.
Ultimately, 12 Angry Men presents a powerful message about the dangers of groupthink and the importance of individual critical thinking in the pursuit of justice. It encourages viewers to consider their own biases and to approach complex issues with an open mind, encouraging them to be willing to challenge dominant narratives and consider alternative perspectives.
Our Grandmothers Poem by Maya Angelou
She searched God's face. Signed at colophon by the author and the artist. During her youth days, Maya worked different jobs, which include being a waitress, a cook, a dancer, and a prostitute. Into the crashing sound, into wickedness, she cried, No one, no, nor no one million ones dare deny me God, I go forth along, and stand as ten thousand. The Holy Spirit upon my left leads my feet without ceasing into the camp of the righteous and into the tents of the free. She sent them away, underground, overland, in coaches and shoeless.

She stood in midocean, seeking dry land. When you get, give. On lonely street corners, hawking her body. Assured, she placed her fire of service on the altar, and though clothed in the finery of faith, when she appeared at the temple door, no sign welcomed Black Grandmother, Enter here. Unless you match my heart and words, saying with me, I shall not be moved.
Maya Angelou Was Right, You Should Put Some Respect On Our Elders’ Names
As for me, I shall not be moved. Unless the keeper of our lives releases me from all commandments. In Virginia tobacco fields, leaning into the curve of Steinway pianos, along Arkansas roads, in the red hills of Georgia, into the palms of her chained hands, she cried against calamity, You have tried to destroy me and though I perish daily, I shall not be moved. Into the crashing sound, into wickedness, she cried, No one, no, nor no one million ones dare deny me God, I go forth along, and stand as ten thousand. She sent them away, underground, overland, in coaches and shoeless. She gathered her babies, their tears slick as oil on black faces, their young eyes canvassing mornings of madness.
When you learn, teach. She sent them underground, overland, in coaches and shoeless. In the operating room, husbanding life. She gathered her babies, their tears slick as oil on black faces, their young eyes canvassing mornings of madness. No angel stretched protecting wings above the heads of her children, fluttering and urging the winds of reason into the confusions of their lives.
Bound at Jovonis Bindery, and issued in dropback box. Unless you match my heart and words, saying with me, I shall not be moved. She muttered, lifting her freedom, I shall not, I shall not be moved. She stands before the abortion clinic, confounded by the lack of choices. Her universe, often summarized into one black body falling finally from the tree to her feet, made her cry each time into a new voice. She is Sheba the Sojourner, Harriet and Zora, Mary Bethune and Angela, Annie to Zenobia.
In the choir loft, holding God in her throat. She gathered her babies, their tears slick as oil on black faces, their young eyes canvassing mornings of madness. She stood in midocean, seeking dry land. Assured, she placed her fire of service on the altar, and though clothed in the finery of faith, when she appeared at the temple door, no sign welcomed Black Grandmother, Enter here. On lonely street corners, hawking her body. On hawking her body. When you get, give.
No above the heads of her children, fluttering and urging the winds of reason into the confusions of their lives. She is Sheba the Sojourner, Harriet and Zora, Mary Bethune and Angela, Annie to Zenobia. Centered on the world's stage, she sings to her loves and beloveds, to her foes and detractors: However I am perceived and deceived, however my ignorance and conceits, lay aside your fears that I will be undone, for I shall not be moved. The Holy Spirit upon my left leads my feet without ceasing into the camp of the righteous and into the tents of the free. She muttered, lifting her head a nod toward freedom, I shall not, I shall not be moved. She lay, skin down in the moist dirt, the canebrake rustling with the whispers of leaves, and loud longing of hounds and the ransack of hunters crackling the near branches.
It highlights her life and hardships growing up during segregation and the traumatic rape incident. . Ordained in the pulpit, shielded by the mysteries. She muttered, lifting her head a nod toward freedom, I shall not, I shall not be moved. The Divine upon my right impels me to pull forever at the latch on Freedom's gate.
Unless you match my heart and words, saying with me, I shall not be moved. These momma faces, lemon-yellow, plum- honey-brown, have grimaced and twisted down a pyramid for years. She heard the names, swirling ribbons in the wind of history: nigger, nigger bitch, heifer, mammy, property, creature, ape, baboon, whore, hot tail, thing, it. In Virginia tobacco fields, leaning into the curve of Steinway pianos, along Arkansas roads, in the red hills of Georgia, into the palms of her chained hands, she cried against calamity, You have tried to destroy me and though I perish daily, I shall not be moved. She said, But my description cannot fit your tongue, for I have a certain way of being in this world, and I shall not, I shall not be moved. Church is where I learned to navigate the name game, addressing fellow members as Sister So-And-So or Deacon Such-And-Such.
