I beg you to take a little of your time to watch this video. It is important to the history of this country. It was a shameful time for America!I do believe that it can send a broader message today.The vicious cruelty, murder and hate are very much alive today. This is not just a Black or White issue. It is a painful reminder of hate and suppression of not only the black community...today it is those with disabilities, the working poor, gays,women,hispanic and more!
You will cry. You will!

Reggie Bullocks short film A War For Your Soul is a stirring, inspirational video for todays generation. Over 10 million internet viewers have watched A War For Your Soul in 2 years. The video has garnered praise from mayors, city leaders, youth and civic organizations and almost every major country around the world, sparking dialog in encouraging adults to play a more active role in educating children.
Popular radio host Michael Baisden said This is a must see film.
This video was created to inspire young at-risk African-Americans not to fall prey to some of the problems they face in society. The Master of Darkness represents that abstract concept of evil that has the potential to reside in the consciousness of mankind.
The use of the images of Richard Pryor and NAS, were used to show how we have publicly displayed the N word over the course of time. Richard Pryor, before his death, had gone on record to publicly denounce his use of the word, and the Rapper NAS ( one of the few socially conscious rappers ) intentions of wearing the jacket had nothing to do with the glorification of the word. I have enjoyed some of Pryors masterful story telling and I have also enjoyed some of the thought-provoking music from NAS.
This video should not to be used to divide people (Black and White).
This video should not be used to criticize all aspects of hip-hop culture.
This video should not be used to allow the rest of society to escape from their responsibility, to help with financial and academic support.
If used properly, this video will allow our youth to see some of the horrific conditions that their ancestors fought through and some of the horrific conditions they face today.
