  • Hard Labor : The First African Americans, 1619

    The award-winning mother-son writing team tells the story of 20 African Americans who arrived in Virginia in 1619 as indentured servants, ready to serve out their sentence before beginning life anew in a new land.
    First African American Best Actor Oscar

They knew if they could hold on and finish out their sentences, they would be free. They came with dreams of the future and a vision of life as good as any other person's, black or white.

Stories about them are incomplete, and facts are blurred by centuries of neglect.
