Two Real Soul Brothers
A tribute to Two Real Soul Brothers: Vincent Harding & Sam Greenlee. "It is no small thing to choose to be voices for justice and life-long critics of injustice, no small thing to have created a masterpiece in words or a compelling film that speaks across time from history to present chaos with an unapologetic demand for revolution."
