as Peter, a fugitive from slavery on a harrowing journey north from Louisiana. The character is modeled after Gordon, or “Whipped Peter,” an enslaved person who emancipated himself from a Southern plantation and joined the Union Army.
In 1863, photos taken of Gordon during an Army medical examination appeared in the Independent and in the July 4 issue of Harper’s Weekly. Known as “The Scourged Back,” one image shows Gordon’s bare back, mutilated by a whipping delivered on the plantation of enslavers John and Bridget Lyons.served as photographic evidence of the cruelty and inhumanity of slavery in America, further fueling the abolitionist movement.
“Emancipation” is one of multiple highly anticipated projects acquired recently by Apple. In May, the tech and entertainment giant nabbed Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” while Tom Hanks’ “Greyhound” is set to premiere
Anybody seeing the irony here? A film about slavery bought by a company that exploids the majority of its workers i.e. is at the forefront of modern slavery. Can't believe WillSmith and AntoineFuqua allowed this to happen.
Promote this . . but tear this down? 'The Emancipation Memorial statue was [voluntarily] funded by the wages of freed slaves' Boston is tearing it down. Stood as a reminder, a teaching for all, for 144 years. Same as book burning, folks. What a sickening slap in their faces.
But wait a minute here. Shouldn't this be torn down [banned] as well . . just like this?
accept 😂🤫👍😎😇 and I 😉
I just wish we could see more rising talent and not keep seeing the same old faces... I love Will Smith... But I'm sure he will not have to worry where the next meal is coming from for a while
Can it
Niggas don’t need to be watching movies like this
