Well acted, with a trenchant script mired only by the profane use of God’s name by each of the leads, “A House Divided” presents an incredible true story of the woman who became the wealthiest black person in the state of Georgia. But this teleplay is not just about black and white relationships. Indeed, some of the most captivating scenes take place in a courtroom. While some folks were demanding that it was sinful to give property and wealth to a person of African descent, more progressive thinkers were realizing that a man’s wishes must be adhered to in the halls of justice. As Atticus Finch states in “To Kill A Mockingbird,” “…in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal.” Members of the jury realized that if they did not honor the last will and testament of David Dickson, then perhaps, some day, their last requests would also be denied. Due to a rape scene and the misuse of God’s name, we are unable to recomend this TV film for family viewing.
