Redtails

Hi Guys! 


Just wanted to share my thoughts about the new film Redtails that recently came out in theaters about the Tuskegee Airmen who flew during WWII.


It's so interesting to me how people say that this is the 1st time that this story is being told and people need to hear about it w/ regard to Redtails. I think it's a shame that the only way some African-Americans will ever know anything about our history is if they put it in a film. Maybe if more of us had paid attention during school or were fortunate enough to have family or community leaders that taught us about our history we wouldn't have to wait for a man named George Lucas to put out a film about 'our' history. This story has been told a million times over through film (The Tuskegee Airmen circa 1995) and books..but you know what they say about Black people and books. This is just my opinion though. Let me get back to trying to educate our children so we don't have to wait another 20 years for them to learn about who they are and what they come from.

But if you are wondering, I did go out and see the film so you all can't say I didn't "supoprt". lol

Peace. Love. And Blessings.
