For Love of Liberty: The Story of America’s Black Patriots
February 10th, 2010 | By YourAddiction
Directed by Frank Martin, For Love of Liberty: The Story of America’s Black Patriots is a two part, four hour documentary that was released and will air on television this February. The film is introduced by Colin Powell, hosted on-camera by Halle Berry. The story spans the Revolution to the Inauguration of Barack Obama and examines why, despite enormous injustice, these heroic men and women fought so valiantly for freedoms they themselves did not enjoy. The project’s goal is to raise public consciousness and shed light on an extraordinary and relatively unexplored aspect of our nation’s history. The central theme of the initiative, the price of liberty, is relevant to all Americans.
What i find exceptional about this documentary is the cast they brought together to present dramtic readings from the diaries of those that were in the wars. The list of actors involved: John Amos, Angela Bassett, Tom Berenger, Roscoe Lee Browne, LeVar Burton, Anthony Chisholm, Chris Cooper, Barry Corbin, Bill Cosby, Peter Coyote, Walter Cronkite, Robert Culp, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Michael Clarke Duncan, Charles S. Dutton, Robert Duvall, Sam Elliott, R. Lee Ermey, Oded Fehr, Morgan Freeman, James Garner, Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, John Goodman, Louis Gossett Jr., Isaac Hayes, Dulé Hill, Ice-T, Asante Jones, Kris Kristofferson, Eriq LaSalle, Delroy Lindo, Jesse L. Martin, Harold Perrineau Jr., Jonathan Pryce, Alan Rickman, Cliff Robertson, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Susan Sarandon, Ron Silver, John Spencer, Donald Sutherland, Melissa Tang, Larenz Tate, Gordon Tootoosis, Robert Townsend, John Travolta, Glynn Turman, Blair Underwood, Courtney B. Vance, Isaiah Washington, Al White, Lambert Wilson, Alfre Woodard, Jeffrey Wright.
The documentary is also endorsed by George Lucas, NAACP and even Senator John McCain. In my eyes everyone should check this out when they get the chance. The times and dates for Washington DC and Chicago below. Check it out!

Little Brother Announces Final Album
February 9th, 2010 | By Isis
On April 20th they’ll be releasing there final album. he name LeftBack has floated around in the past as the name of a future EP from LB , but this will be a full length LP. “I didn’t want our last record to be a bunch of second-rate material,” says Phonte . “I wanted to walk away from Little Brother knowing that I gave our fans all that I had to give, and said everything I wanted to say. With LeftBack, I’ve done that.” As far as producers go, look for appearances from Khrysis, Denaun Porter, Zo!, Symbolic One, J. Bizness, and King Karnov. Before you ask, no, 9th Wonder will not be on the album. Emcees on the album will include Torae, Truck North, Jozeemo, Chaundon, Median, with Darien Brockington and Yahzarah assisting on vocals. The album will come with four official music videos (all shot and directed by Matt Koza). Says Big Pooh , “Three albums, three mixtapes, one video. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in this day and age. We have always lacked in the visual department, and I think it will be refreshing to finally offer the people those visuals.” To top it off, LeftBack will also come with a limited edition DVD full of exclusive bonus material. As the release date approaches expect more details, including tour info. via Okayplayer
