6.1

A dramatization based on the true story of one of the first black cadets at West Point and the racial prejudice he encounters at the U.S. Military Academy. Johnson Whittaker is court-martialed in 1880 and expelled from West Point for allegedly staging his own assault and mutilating himself in order to avoid taking an exam. The film is anchored on the clash between a Harvard-educated black law professor (Jackson) and his co-defense, a racist white attorney (Waterston) more interested in upholding the honor of West Point than in seeing that justice is done. With a great cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Sam Waterston, Mason Adams, Eddie Bracken, Al Freeman, Jr., John Glover and introducing Seth Gilliam as Johnson Whittaker. Originally released on Showtime on February 27, 1994. 🇺🇸👕🎖️** Find All Of Our Exclusive Patriotic & History-Oriented Merchandise Here - Every Sale Supports The Channel And Keeps Us "On The Air": https://teespring.com/stores/lionheart-filmworks Even more Historically Nerdy Products can be found here! https://lionheartfilmworks.etsy.com ☕ If you appreciate our content and want to support us further, direct donations are always welcome at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lionheart PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, CLICK THE 'BELL' ICON FOR ALERTS ON NEW CONTENT - AND SHARE THIS VIDEO TO HELP US GROW AND KEEP HISTORY HAPPENING!
