Mr. Morrow, on the Military History of Black Americans page you state "I am a firm believer that if we (African American) don't tell our stories, we shouldn't expect others to do it." I am on the Board of Directors for the Citizens Support Organization for the Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park in Florida. Mary Fears, a member of our organization, is a retired librarian who has taken it upon herself to pull the Afro-American community into participation in Civil War events. She is currently working with with a video company to produce "Filling the Gap," a movie about blacks during the Civil war. She crosses the state doing living history of blacks during the Civil War and has received extremely favorable reviews for her efforts. If you ever met her son at an event, you would believe you were actually speaking with Frederick Douglass. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 08:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
