I love Viola Davis as an actress, but she says the dumbest isht sometimes. We DID hear the voices of the maids in the movies, though we also saw other perspectives too. We got to see how life unfolded from the perspectives of our elders and ancestors who lived through those years. The movie wasn't about Hilly, for example, but her character was necessary for us to see how those women were treated.

And . . . were it if not for The Help, she would not be currently starring on a major network show.

First, she endorsed Ocasio-Cortez, and now this.
