This film is an unprecedented documentation of the African-American experience in the US military. It uses letter, diaries, speeches, journalistic accounts, historical texts, and military records to acknowledge the tremendous, unheralded accomplishments of African-American Servicemen and women - from the earliest days of the Republic through our present conflict in Afghanistan. The documentary asks why these heroic men and women fought so valiantly for freedoms they themselves did not enjoy.Soccer, Sergeants, and Suspense Book Club

Thanks to an outpouring of support from the public, Billy began a journey of discovery to find an alternative treatment for his cancer. Eighteen years later and still cancer free, Billy Best has teamed up with Linda Conti of Sandcastle Memoirs in South Yarmouth to share his remarkable, triumphant story. Come meet Billy and Linda.
