Mississippi Burning is one of the most powerful movies about racism that I saw when I was young. I think I was still too young to appreciate Roots when it was shown, but when this movie was shown, I could already understand the racial divide that America had to go through during those turbulent times. Gene Hackman is superb here - although I'm not sure if he got an Oscar for this - but I was really cheering for his character to nail the bad guys.
