A Fighting Force

War Documentary hosted by Friz Weaver and Samuel L Jackson, published by History Channel in 2008 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

Throughout American history, from the Revolution to San Juan Hill and to the sands of Iraq, black soldiers have fought and died under the Stars and Stripes. Long before they were recognized as citizens, much less equals, African-Americans sacrificed their lives for a society from which they were largely excluded. Through period accounts, first-person recollections, and rare photos and footage, the difficult journey of the African-American men and women who fought to secure their rightful place in the U.S. Military is followed. A Fighting Force pays tribute to the valor and sacrifices of African-American soldiers while shedding light on the discrimination and disregard that at times proved more threatening than the rigors of battle. This eye-opening and vitally important THE HISTORY CHANNEL collection brings together five masterful documentaries. This history reflects as positively on the countless valiant fighters.

Produced by Lou Reda Productions, Bill Brummel Productions, Flight 33 Productions, CBS News Productions and Al Roker Entertainment for The History Channel (1998-2007)

4)  Black Aviators: Flying Free
They battled prejudice as well as the enemy. Some were forced to fight for other countries in order to realize their dream. Others went on to become legend--yet still were victims of discrimination. Take a long-overdue trip into the world of the BLACK AVIATORS who broke down barriers in order to take to the skies. Through period accounts, first-person recollections, and rare photos and footage, we'll follow the difficult journey of African-American pilots to secure their rightful place in the U.S. military. See how pioneers like Eugene Bullard and Bessie Coleman flew for France in World War I rather than serve in the segregated U.S. forces. Relive the exploits of the legendary Tuskegee airmen, who forever silenced those who said black pilots weren't skilled enough. And follow the career of Frank Peterson, who overcame segregation and discrimination on and off the military base to become the Marine's first African-American 3-star general. From the First World War to the Gulf War and beyond, BLACK AVIATORS tells the inspiring story of the individuals who refused to back down in the face of unfair obstacles and won their place in the skies.
