When talking about the documentary he said, “‘Black Patriots’ chronicles the surprising, crucial, and often ignored role the black people played in the creation of our country.”

He further said, “Here’s something we never learned in school: George Washington said that African-Americans were pivotal to winning the Revolutionary War. From soldiers to spies to poets, black people were as much the founders of America as those who signed the Declaration of Independence.”
