TV Guide Magazine - 10/10 by Robert PardiThis landmark TV-movie brings history to vivid life, never sacrificing moving personal drama to score sociological or political points.
Orlando Sentinel - 9/10 by Hal BoedekerWell-intentioned tripe, directed with made-for-TV solemnity by John Korty.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Howard RosenbergMiss Jane Pittman fulfilled my deepest expectations. I did not look for a miracle nor did I view it with malice. That the show will spawn another film depicting other blacks in other experiences is unquestioned. That it was a triumph of and for the enduring strength of black people is also beyond doubt.
