Abstract

The article discusses human rights and the rule of law in America in relation to a freedom of expression right involving exhibitions and presentations of motion pictures. Historical sociology is addressed, along with the concept of absolute equality involving genders, races, and ethic groups. American constitutional rights are examined, along with the United Nations General Assembly's Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the films "The James Boys in Missouri" and "The Night Riders."
