Since 1943, the year which Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man, women of the Black have always played an essential role in the painful history of the Black striving for their right. The peculiar incident of Montgomery Bus Boycott was not merely an accident. In fact, it was a plan schemed to initiate the Black to fight against the segregated laws through the hands of black women (Jo Ann Robinson and Rosa Parks). To place black women as the key factors in such a movement inspired us to stretch our studies to the profound gender and social issues related to black women. “Precious” is such a film that not only portraits the ghetto life of Precious Jones, but various aspects of her encounter with different characters.
