It remains to be seen how Mr. Ross’s film will land with audiences. Kellie Carter Jackson, an assistant professor of history at Hunter College and the author of the coming book “Force and Freedom: Black Abolitionists and the Politics of Violence,” said there was a need for a more accurate depiction of Reconstruction, but noted that Hollywood “has a hard time divesting white men from the center of the universe.” See article here.

Smart Talk: PA African-Americans in Civil War
Scott Lamar discusses The Civil War in Pennsylvania: The African American Experience with Editor Samuel Black and Contributor Kellie Carter Jackson
The book "tells the little known but extremely important stories of blacks and the Civil War providing new insights into such topics as emigration, abolitionism, civil rights, armed resistance, service in the war and more. It treats the war with circumspection from a point of view that defines the conflict as a war over slavery and the opportunity to liberate the masses of Africans from bondage." That's a direct quote from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, which published the book last year.
As part of Black History Month, Smart Talk features the book's editor, Samuel W. Black, and a contributing essayist Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson of the African-American Studies Department at Harvard University and whose research focuses on black abolitionists and violent political discourse.
