The movie Glory is about a story within a historical event‚ which is known as the civil war. It is about Africa Americans fighting for not only our country‚ but also their own respect. The movie is also about how whites acted towards Africa American people. Although the North was essentially fighting the war to abolish slavery they still did not see the African Americans as equal. There are several questions one must ask when reviewing this great film. The movie is very factional with what is going

In this movie I learned a lot more about the struggles and breakthroughs of the deaf culture than I already knew. I didn’t know nearly as much as I thought I did.
