Well in the trailer of the actual movie, they seemed to mispronounce names. So that is why I was speculating that it was done on purpose.
Soror I do not think that they are mispronouncing the names to get around any legal issues. If you remember on the audition casting footage Rosalyn’s husband Craig mispronounced Delta Sigma Theta. I cannot remember what he actually said, but all of the ladies auditing for a part in the documentary had to correct him. That is when he made the statement that he wanted to get the name right because he did not want to get bet up by any sorors. This documentary is just going to be sub par. Also, did anybody check out the actress who is playing Nellie’s Quander’s part? I guess it is unfair to judge this documentary based upon an excerpt of the footage, but why is the actress that is portraying Nellie Quander doing all this eye blinking and why is this actress so soft spoken? This documentary is going to be a mess.

Can any sorors answer my question? I know that celebrities are considered public figures so that is why Entertainment Tonight and other media outlets can use their pictures in a news segment about them. I want to know if an organization’s “image” (image is not the word that I want to use, but I cannot think of another word at the moment) be considered as a public property, since the organization is considered prestigious?
