Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2017)

Glory is a movie about the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, the first all- African-American volunteer company to fight in the Civil War. I think it does a great job of showing how African Americans were treated during their fight for equality. The film shows graphic scenes of Africans being abused, both physically, with whips, and verbally, at first with white commanders, and then with higher generals. There was even a scene that showed whip scars from slavery on a man that was to be punished. Not only did the movie display the pain African Americans went through, but the hatred toward those who stuck up for them. This movie is a good lesson about what African Americans had to do to fight for their country and reach equality. About their courage in a time of prejudice and bitterness.
