John Malveaux of MusicUNTOLD.com tells AfriClassical:
“Frank Martin will attend the Long Beach screening of For Love Of Liberty: Stories of Black Patriots In The Civil War...” “Please see his bio at http://www.forloveofliberty.org/producers/index.html."
“If prevalent and accepted accounts of American History – both scholarly and those portrayed by Hollywood – are to be believed, the face of the United States Armed Services was white. The truth is, though most were not recognized as citizens or even free men, more than 200,000 African Americans took up arms in the Civil War. Yet most accounts of their valiant actions are absent from history books and contemporary films. For Love Of Liberty: Stories Of Black Patriots In the Civil War finally, and for the first time, sets the record straight.”
