"Glory” Anniversary
The Inaugural Event of
The Walking Ghosts of Black History
Present to you the 25th Anniversary Red Carpet Premier of the film “Glory”. The majority of the filming took place in Savannah, Georgia so we strongly feel it’s best to pay respect to this historical city, which received us so openly in the past.
During this event we will pay tribute to those who helped make this film possible and who are no longer with us today. Honoring their memory from the brilliant capture of the film, we will be sharing many different aspects of living history and educational forums with an emphasis on African-American history in the military.
As we live today – under a blanket of freedom; we would like to share with the public, our nations understanding about the truths of the effects and aftermath of the civil war. Our involvement with our nation’s top history professors and the reenactment community will allow us to give the most accurate presentations of the Civil War and how it has shaped our nation into who we are today.
In this 3-day event we will bring the importance to the African-American community, and the general public, why this event is significant in today’s world and why it’s essential for African-Americans to participate, remember and reenact.
This educational event will compel our participants and spectators through initiative, strength, tolerance and truth. Our youth are our future making this event imperative to be factional and a honest portrayal of a living history, which they will never forget.
We invite you to step into the past with The Walking Ghost of Black History Inaugural Event and make history today.
A tribute to the men and women, who made it possible – the motion picture
“GLORY”.
