Even though Buttefly McQueen won an Oscar for her part in that film and a 10 year old MLK sang in his youth choir at the premiere of the film, not sure if he saw it though.
Correction. Butterfly McQueen didn’t win an Oscar for her role. Hattie McDaniel did win Supporting Actress Oscar for Mammy though and was the first black to win an acting Oscar.

I don’t think Butterfly McQueen won...Hattie McDaniel did. But McQueen was fantastic.
