This powerful film delves into the lives and legacies of two pioneering Maryland figures—Henry Highland Garnet and Harvey Johnson—who were at the forefront of pushing for justice under the law and a cultural reconciliation for African Americans. Garnet, a leading figure in the Liberty Party and president of the African Civilization Society, was the first African American to give a speech in the US Capitol. Johnson, a trailblazer in civil rights organizing, founded the Brotherhood of Liberty, a forerunner to the Niagara Movement and ultimately the NAACP. His formation of the Colored Baptist Convention of Maryland mirrored the organizational structure of the AME Church. Ultimately, he pushed for a theory in Texas, which highlights the importance of Juneteenth.
