There is not enough history out there of what really occurred with our black soldiers during WWII. This is a wonderful account of overcoming discrimination when there should not have been any; when we should all have been working together towards defeating a common enemy.
The actors did an excellent job of portraying the conditions under which they were treated. They were treated almost as poorly as Japanese Americans were treated at that time. It was sad that we had not come farther since the Civil War in our attitudes towards our black brothers and sisters. Underneath our skin we are all the same. We should be thankful for all they did for us no matter how poorly we treated them.
We should also be thankful to HBO for bringing us this excellent movie so that we could see what this truly heroic group of soldiers did for us during WWII.
