We need a man like this more now than ever, as Hispanic I can appreciate a man that set race aside and expects to go back to human basics and act accordingly

Pusillanimous. You taught me a brand new word today Joe lol. See, he still touches us, even from his seat in Glory.

"Lean On Me" - a true classic! Released the following year! Morgan Freeman went all the way!

I was born with a speech impediment. I could not pronounced "expurgated" until I watch Joe say it in the movie "Lean on Me".

When he ask the boy wear are his books I wonder if that was the real Thomas Sam's in the Lean on me movie.

Lol I think so

This is a classic, love this guy. I like him, he isn’t a victim and even though he’s being serious and I agree with him, some of the stuff he says and the way he says makes me laugh. He’s so serious and it’s kinda funny. He’s quite eccentric.

The movie definitely did not exaggerate on how bad the school was & what Joe Clark was really like. The movie really got just about everything very accurately right. Joe Clark was ahead of his time. Hell, looks like even 60 Minutes was ahead of its time, talking casually about, on public tv, drug dealing & rapes normally occurring at a school

Joe Clark may have been a piece of work, but he certainly got results! May he rest in peace.❤

This is what the inner city school person needs as a principal r.i.p the Great Joe Clark

these schools NEED Joe Clark today more than ever. It's probably too late though.

Are schools as bad as Eastside was? Drugs & rapes?

Morgan Freeman did an excellent job portraying him in Lean On Me

THIS classic CBS 60 Minutes episode confirms that everything in Lean On Me was definitely a true story, hands down! LOL :)

Rip brother

And a little less than a yr after this aired, Lean on Me came to theaters. I'm one of the few white people that has seen the movie, but it needs to be shown all around. We need more Joe Clarks out there. I can see why Reagan initially wanted him to be his education secretary.

Morgan freeman should have gotten a Oscar award for his role in lean what bs.

Loved him on Benson

Morgan Freeman did an excellent job portraying him in the movie Lean on Me

This probally would work today, many school districts are completely controlled by the school board.

I was thinking the same thing but Morgan did an excellent job

I don't agree with all this guys says or does, but I like the idea of being strick in rough places, he can't control everyone when they go home, but he can make his small world (the school) safe

I agree

This man sound like a preacher on the mic I’m surprised he wasn’t a pastor

Problem with inner city kids today is they are overmothered and underfathered. We need ppl like joe

benson

While he was definitely no-nonsense and knew how to command respect, I get the vibe that the real Mr. Clark was a lot more chill in real life and simple came off more intimidating and harsh than he was because of his high education and that rich baritone. I'm sure he could turn into the screaming "Jerk With a Heart of Gold" (word to TV Tropes) if he needed to lol, but I don't buy that as being his main approach like Lean On Me portrays. That being said, I don't know of a single Morgan Freeman role that I don't like and I know the movie isn't meant to be a 1:1 portrayal of the real life people and events that occurred.

LOL OMG you mean these people like 5:19 and 7:31 is actually real? LOL

Respect Jesse Jackson? Hell no
