An MLK Zombie Clip

In Honor of Martin Luther King day here is a famous scene from Night of the Living Dead.  Duane Jones gives her a good old wake the fuck up punch!  

Scene from Night of the Living Dead(1968), by George A. Romero.

"Most people like to talk about the social significance of Romero's work and in particular, that he cast a black lead in Night. The truth of the matter is this: Duane Jones was the best actor that auditioned for the part and at no point is his colour an issue in the story. It isn't even referred to. It certainly seems like it was a very brave move to not only cast a black man in the lead, but to portray him punching a hysterical white woman and then shooting a white man dead. The lack of reference to his colour, particularly at that time, can be seen as being all the more resonant; by not making a statement, it makes a statement."
