Dear Debs,
Nina May is a member of the Deborah Company. She has dedicated much of the past few years of her life to working on the groundbreaking documentary Emancipation, Revelation, Revolution. The film is now available for purchase at www.errvideo.com. The website has a three minute trailer, a comprehensive list of speakers and interviews, and a resource page.
Here is some information on the film from the website:
This is an award-winning documentary about the history of the civil rights movement in America, the role that both major political parties have played in it, and the voting habits of Blacks in America today.
As the nation is now divided, not along racial lines, but along issues of morality and values, racial discrimination has been replaced by philosophical discrimination, and many conservative blacks are choosing to leave the liberal plantation and follow their own destinies.
What happens to them when they leave, and why aren’t Americans taught about the rich history of blacks in America, beyond the misperception of victimization?
Martin Luther King’s dream has been realized, but not the way he imagined. Blacks in America are being judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, but the judgment is harsh if they embrace conservative philosophies.
"Without question I believe "Emancipation Revelation/Revolution" to be one of the most quintessential documentaries of factual historical relevance produced in my life time.
In a day and time when the overwhelming majority of Americans are blissfully ignorant of the factual history of Black involvement in our two party system; ERR reveals clearly and specifically that which the whitewashing of history has denied so many.
It encourages dialogue and retrospection on a level heretofore not seen. ERR should not only be mandatory viewing, but it deserves a place in every home in America." -Mychal Massie
