Today PBS unveiled a beta site, Black Culture Connection, highlighting African American history and arts. The vertical site contains films, stories and digital resources available across PBS, including local series such as UNC-TV’s Black Issues Forum and WQED’s Torchbearers. It’s premiering in partnership with 10 stations and five national producers, and officially launches during Black History Month in February. Details here.

Keep history alive and well by telling that history:
Read the epic novel, “Rescue at Pine Ridge”, where Buffalo Bill Cody meets a Buffalo Soldier, the greatest epic ‘novel’ ever written. A great story of Black Military History, the first generation of Buffalo Soldiers…5 stars Amazon internationally, and Barnes & Noble.

Rescue at Pine Ridge is the epic story of the 9th Cavalry from its Congressional conception in 1866, to the rescue of the famed 7th Cavalry by the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, 1890. The 7th Cavalry was entrapped again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn’t for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of occurred, a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry. This story is about, brutality, compassion, bravery, gallantry, reprisal, heroism and redemption.
I know you’ll enjoy the novel. I wrote the story that embodied the Native Americans, Outlaws and African-American/Black Soldiers, from the east to the west, from the south to the north, in the days of the Native American Wars with the approaching United States of America.
The novel was taken from my mini-series movie with the same title, “RaPR” to keep the story alive. The movie so far has the interest of major actors in which we are in talks with, in starring in this epic American story.
