Other mistake: Regarding the power outage during the ice storm, correct that the gas stove would have been fine, except they may have had an electric percolator. But unlikely the phone would have worked, no power for the ringer.

Suggested correction: It depends. Most landline phones work during a power outage, with the exception of cordless phones because they don't require power from the home (which is why you don't plug them into an outlet). The small amount of electricity is provided by the phone company. So unless the phone company providing power lost power, the landline would still work. I didn't see anything that indicated that happened.

Driving Miss Daisy (1989)
Corrected entry: Hoke looks at Miss Daisy's 5th grade class photo of 1896. But then she says her brother got married in 1888 when she was 12. This would mean she was 20 in the 5th grade. (00:18:18 - 00:45:45)
Correction: She's wasn't a 5th grader. She was the 5th grade teacher. She's the adult on the far left, 2nd row.
