2021-03-30In 1946, Isaac Woodard, a Black army sergeant on his way home to South Carolina after serving in WWII, was pulled from a bus for arguing with the driver. The local chief of police savagely beat him, leaving him unconscious and permanently blind. The shocking incident made national headlines and, when the police chief was acquitted by an all-white jury, the blatant injustice would change the course of American history. Based on Richard Gergel’s book Unexampled Courage, the film details how the crime led to the racial awakening of President Harry Truman, who desegregated federal offices and the military two years later. The event also ultimately set the stage for the Supreme Court’s landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, which finally outlawed segregation in public schools and jumpstarted the modern civil rights movement.Hafu

A Documentary
2015-01-17Black people face a lot of problems, but the root cause of those issues is our lack of businesses. 7 A.M. is the first documentary ever that talks to leading scholars, academics, and businessmen exploring in depth why racism isn’t a social issue but an economic one. Since the 1960’s we’ve focused on education and politics, however, the solution isn’t building more schools or government positions… The solution is building more businesses.
