I saw this dvd film at the booth in Olustee battle reenactment in Feb and thought it was a bit expensive. But wanting to support local arts and education, I bought it. At first I thought it was going to be another treatment of black soldiers' contribution to the union war effort, but no! Way more entertaining, profiling the lives of talented and heroic black americans making significant contributions to the greatness of our country. I was moved at several instances in the film and it has inspired me to do further study. Though at first, I balked at the price, I am buying another for a friend.

This is a "Magnificent Cultural Epiphany" expressing and portraying our people in the Civil War period of the U.S.A.

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.

Loved it...very inspirational...well put together. Keep it coming...great job!

Awesome and revealing of the great and significant contributions made by our African-American brothers and sisters and their ancestors, to our great country.
