Before, during, and after celebrating the 4th of July, I recalled learning that African American Norm E. Edelen was the co-writer-producer of a bicentennial TV special called “The Greatest Story Never Told”- about freed blacks and slaves who in 1763 petitioned the Colonies for freedom; the time when Abigail Adams asked her husband how they could petition the King of England for freedom while denying freedom to the slaves. Ossie Davis and Raymond St. Jacques were the lead actors. See http://sbprabooks.com/normaneedelen/biography/
