The students went to view the film earlier last week.

To celebrate Black History Month, Pierson High School students visited the Sag Harbor Movie Theater earlier this month, where they viewed the film, β€œSelma,” a 2014 historical drama, which is based on the 1965 voting rights marches led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
