Forrest Gump activity 1
Elvis Presley: The film depicts him as an average guy who stayed in Forrests house. He would play the guitar while Forrest would dance. His dance was unique because of the issues with his legs. Later Forrest sees Elvis on TV doing his dance (which is the dance he was known for). The film depicts Elvis correctly as "the king" and a music legend.
Desegregation of University of Alabama: The movie accurately represents this time in history where the universities desegregated. There were guards who would escort the African American students in the building to shield them from the protesters. It also shows JFK signing the document saying to mix the schools.
JFK assassination: In the movie they show the actual footage of the JFK assassination. Forrest plays for the Alabama and meets JFK at an event.
