This film can’t be put out there soon enough. A much needed part of our educational system. And bravo to Sojourner Truth! Brilliant job with the “Aint I a woman” speech.

I enjoyed this documentary very much. I am a junior in high school and I’m in Advanced Placement U.S. History. Most of the stories portrayed are ones I’ve read in depth about. But this time it was a whole different experience by watching what I’ve learned on screen. It made the stories more personal and real.

Well done! The best depiction of the African-American history during a bleak and sad period of American history. We need this film in every school in Florida, nationwide and the world. I will assist in this process in the Florida African-American history.
