  1. I hope they release this on BlueRay and DVD

  2. Manisfistation spirits of the ancestors.2-6-24

  3. These two men exude such strength portraying MLK jr and Malcolm X that I would've never guessed they questioned their abilities! I found that so interesting that Martin Luther's name was originally Michael. I never learned of that before. And also how heavily effected he was by his grandma's passing. I can't wait to see more of the episodes!
