I'm not for sure how many have heard of Karitos Christian Arts Festival held in Chicago, but Don Albert is on the Committee that gets the festival running. He was one of those who made this movie. There's hope, artists. Keep going. :)))
I haven't seen the movie, but the trailer makes it seem like a movie that is painting a picture that all confederates are racists. I'll have to see the movie to see if that's the case though
Because white people did not like black people or anyone that wasn't like them. And I guess you know the 0.01% then. Lee himself owned slaves. And I doubt that if you considered black people equal you'd have them as slaves.
@Piddus It's not all about slavery ya know. All through time there were slaves of all races! Think about ancient rome. And Lee freed his slaves before the war ended. Grant didn't until he was forced. What's that tell you about the real north?
@SmokeyHickChick Actually, history shows that racism ran rapid throughout all the US during the civil war.Maria Lydia child was a great writer in the 1830-1860's until she spoke out against slavery. it killed her career. No one wanted anything to do with her. And the racism wasn't just calling someone names, it was denying them education, employment, housing. Some where beaten, hung, houses burned. It was really bad. So it wasn't just in the south, but in the North, South, East and West.
@kimdkus I was talkin about the south in general though. There were racists throughout everywhere, I know. But I just get annoyed at how everyone tries to turn southerners into racists and northerners as the saviors.
@SmokeyHickChick LOL!! Northerns were not the saviors. That's sad. :( it was really ony the quackers and other religious groups who helped them and it wasn't much. I really feel for them. They were dragged from their homes, made into slaves, their lives destroyed, set free and then told to 'move on'" with no education, help, money, nothing. How sad!!!!! But what brave people. Some succeeded, some didn't . Very sad!!
@kimdkus It really is. But at the same time, I don't blame the slave owners either. That's what they were taught and how they were raised. They were told blacks were nothing more than dogs.
@SmokeyHickChick you are so very right. They were told as small children, these poor people were lower than dogs. That's where racism starts, with our children. Scary, huh? this is also how the Nazi worked, get ahold of the kids.
@Piddus that's exactly how it was. The Northern Folks didn't like slavery, but they didn't feel that AA should have any rights whatsoever and were considered sub-humans. Lee did have slaves, but he had to free them due to his father-in-law's will, who first owned the slaves. He felt that slavery was worse for whites than blacks. Yeah, ok. :(((
The dogs who accompanied soliders in the American Civil War displayed remarkable loyalty, and they won the hearts of the soldiers by sharing their hardships. You can find a tribute to this bond between soldiers and their dogs here:
the author of this book lives in my town and my teacher was in this movie(by the way alot of this movie was not in the book but it looks like it will be bettter than the book)
I attended the Pittsburgh world premier on October 11, 2009, and it was wonderful! Author Florence Biros has spent 40 years trying to get a Dog Jack movie produced, and it was a proud moment to see my friend's name on the big screen.
Some folks from Sony will attend the Chicago movie showing, and they may or may not decide to distribute it across the country. It's nearly impossible to get a distributor for an independently made movie, but impossible doesn't stop Florence!

@kimdkus Exactly! If there were anyone to blame, I'd blame the Europeans who brought slaves to the America's in the first place.
