Director: Frank Martin
Ever heard of a James Roberts? Peter Salem? Phyllis Wheatley? Freddie Stowers? No? Neither had I.
Frank Martin in this epic documentary tells a story of American history little told in grade school history classes. The invaluable contributions black Americans have made is both inspiring and a thing of wonder. Why? I keep wondering. Why do they continue to serve and die for a country and government that has consistently rejected them?
An objectivist, however, quickly sees the irrelevance of this question. More important is the spirit of humanity and the immortality of good hearted men that lives on.
Ah, the everlasting thirst for that strange thing that always seems to be ever so evasive. We know from history government cannot be counted on to protect this curious thing for us: liberty.
"In every human breast, God has implanted a principle, which we call love for freedom. It is impatient of oppression, and pants for deliverance." Fight on, brothers and sisters.
