The Lawnside (N.J.) Historical Society showed "Deeds Not Words" by James Rada last night. Lawnside is an African-American municipality in New Jersey rooted in the abolitionist movement and the Underground Railroad. The documentary was moving, to say the least. One member of the audience was a 90-year-old U.S. Navy veteran. He is still boiling and bitter about the paradoxes of his time in the WWII.
This film should be shown and discussed with not only military folks, academicians, historians and college students but middle and high school students as well.
James and the Howard students who worked on this project have done a great service. It needs full funding for mass production!
