Jimmie Lee Jackson's grandfather, played by Henry G. Sanders. This is just the beginning of it:

Sanders is unreal in this scene. Tears your heart out.

I finally saw the movie yesterday and it was very moving with so many parallels to the struggles of today. Not the least of which is the Repubs continuing to pass laws that disenfranchise voters of color. The acting was incredible.

and, yes, DuVernay and Oyelowo got robbed not being nominated for Best Director/Best Actor, accordingly.
