#440negroes

Last I had the privilege to watch a project from someone I could call a mentor. Not only did I enjoy the body of work, I also had the opportunity to point out some of the gems he taught he. Tonight everyone should watch #440Negroes on Amazon, it’s only 30 minutes but full of knowledge. Love the documentary @mjrvisuals https://www.instagram.com/p/B55N_n-nkkm/?igshid=6y68ih5gy4fz

Walking the upper west side...I found out today by a person that...that’s where I am. I’m Here in nyc for three days filming for a #commercial but took time to walk around and I found Ulysses S Grants tomb...I was talking with the historian on duty and I was told that he had so much to do with another #documentary I’m working on, maybe I was supposed to find this info to add to the #film. #440negroes #mjrvisuals #thetruthproject #followthemoney #pictureoftheday (at General Grant National Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzRavOQh_mc/?igshid=xijilg7txl66

#440negroes...i recently read an article in The Atlantic titled “The Weeping Time.” Written by Kris Monroe, the article discussed the auction of 440 slaves in Savannah, Georgia in 1859, just prior to the start of the Civil War. At that time, it was billed as the “largest auction of Negroes” in Georgia, but it was, in fact, the largest auction in US history. As I read the story, I realized that this was a significant slice of American history lost and forgotten. I believed the story deserved to be told to a larger audience—in documentary form. #videoproduction #productionhouse #mjrvisuals #video #lincolnpennyfilms #thetruthproject #documentary https://www.instagram.com/p/BzBecrdBkqF/?igshid=1lhgxnumzbgs7
