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)

5)  Honor Deferred
When the war books were closed at the end of World War II, the Medal of Honor - the military highest award - was bestowed on 432 soldiers. But not one was given to any of the more than one million African-Americans who served in that war. It took an internal Army investigation, not launched until 1994, to find out why ... and to eventually right the wrong. More than a half century after the end of World War II, in 1997, seven African-Americans were finally awarded the Medal of Honor in a White House ceremony. Was the army racist? Did African-Americans receive appropriate training? We explore all these issues and more in breathtaking recreations as we document the stories of the seven black Congressional Medal of Honor winners. Vernon Baker is the last living awardee. Witness as President Clinton presents these medals to Baker and the proud family members of the other six. A History Channel special, narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and hosted by Bernie Mac, tells the moving true stories of these brave men and how they were slighted for so long.
