» Filling The Gap is an important educational film. It has the distinction of being an African-American historical film that features little known facts about “people of color” during the ante-bellum period in America.
» Filling The Gap gives viewers an enlightening view of black people in bondage rendering both military and non-combat service in the Civil War. Highly skilled as artisans and craftsmen and ingenious as inventors, African-Americans made great contributions to the early settlement and development of our country.
» Filling The Gap is spectacular in its portrayal of historical characters like Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln and others who are less known. This film is significant as a resource in the study of America’s history.
My family and I do "Living History" presentations
here in Delaware, and one question we always get is "Why"? Event planners and community groups need to add "Filling The Gap" to their program schedules. I will be purchasing my copy ASAP! SGM(ret)Willis Phelps
