The historical narratives and archival photos in this fascinating documentary reveal the real story of the heroic African American regiment dramatized in the movie Glory. When the Civil War began, black men clamored for the chance to strike a blow for the liberation of African Americans. Their desire to participate was rejected until the first officially sanctioned regiment of Northern black soldiers was formed in Boston.
