Many people don’t know that African Americans played an integral role in the fight for America's independence. To rectify the situation, NBA legend, bestselling author and esteemed activist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — along with esteemed historians and supported with archival materials — highlights the Black heroes who stood up against British rule to help establish the United States of America as well as the Black loyalists who fought for the British crown and the promise of freedom. Abdul-Jabbar's personal journey reveals his own unique discovery of important historical figures like Crispus Attucks and how they helped change the perception of his own heritage.
Executive produced by Abdul-Jabbar and Deborah Morales.
