I found this video a few years ago with the same question you asked after watching that movie...."why havent i heard of this man"

[caved357]

Growing up in DC, I heard of Petey when he was in his Hay Day. Then, I nearly forgot about him until a white guy in the Air Force showed me a video on YouTube. My memory reset and I was thinking about Petey again. The movie about him was late, but it was on time and KUDOS to the writers and actors in Talk to Me for letting the world know about Petey.

Wow my Brotha! Powerful sentiments! I too was astonished when I first got hip to Petey Greene. I felt like someone had purposely hidden this brother from me because he struck a chord with me in a similar fashion to when I first heard Malcolm X. You can hide many things but the truth shines like a beacon and Petey spoke the truth, I saw a PBS special on Petey done by his nephew Terrence and I was completely blown away. You presented yourself in a most honorable fashion. Keep up the good work!

Check the documentary yo (Adjust Your Color: The Truth of Petey Greene). I haven't seen the movie yet (will tonight) but the doc is the badness. And though Cheadle is an excellent actor, ain't nothing like the truth right from the source...
