Although I personally dislike the idea that the interest and study of african american history should be confined to one month out of the calendar year - the powers that be only see fit to put out programming that is educational and edifying during the month of february - well one major fight at a time.
In any case this link is to information on a movie airing tonight which is the true life story of an african prince that found himself in slavery and how he ultimately got free and went back to his life before slavery
