Reparations I: The Attorneys - SonicMovie (Audio Drama) Teaser - Online - ( mp3 – Stream Free )
Description:
Available September 15, 2010
Two African-American attorneys find their friendship at odds and themselves at the center of national controversy as they represent opposing sides in a legal battle nearly 400 years in the making, one seeking reparations from the U.S. Government for the descendants of slavery and the harm that legacy brought.
Listen to a selection form the work. Exhibit/Chapter 38 of 69 by clicking a link below.
Time Length: 18 minutes 54 Seconds (18:54)
During the course of Reparations I: The Attorneys, the shared legacy of other reparations battles against the U. S. Government are explored as well as other infamous horrors of slavery:
German-American, Italian-American & Japanese-American Reparations — Due to the United States mass, unlawful actions — arrests, internment, and “exclusion” of these people during WWII.
The racial neutrality of slavery in the enslavement of Jews, Muslims, non-Christians, white women, . . . in the United States.
Hawaiian Reparations — Per international Law Hawaii is a nation illegally seized by the United States.
The abduction of white children, white adults, Mexicans, and foreign nationals who were sold as “mixed race” African-White slaves.
Is the United States an Empire or Democracy? — Why does the United States have millions of sub-citizens deprived the rights of full U.S. citizenship in Puerto Rico, Guam, The U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and The Northern Mariana Islands — territories it’s held over 100 years?
Chinese Slavery and defacto Slavery in the U.S.
Mexican-American Reparations — For violations of The Treaty of Hidalgo, signed February 2, 1948, which ended the Mexican American War. The civil rights violations began almost immediately after ratification of the treaty and continue today, over 160 years; and for violations of the U.S. Constitution during the “Mexican Repatriation” (1929-1939), the first U.S. Mexican/Mexican-American ethnic cleansing and “Operation “Wetback” (1954), the second U.S. Mexican/Mexican-American ethnic cleansing. Combined these two programs forced 2.3 million people of Mexican heritage in the U.S. out of the U.S. to live in Mexico, 60% of which were U.S. citizens.

The Battle Within The Bulge
Written By: K. Anderson Yancy
Performed By: Jimmer Bolden, Kirk Bradley, Ben Fahy, Johnathan Goodwin, Robert Gworek, Don Kapa, Michael Latishaw, Michael Summers, Walter Murray, Greg Rhode, Dan Ryman, John Terenin, Anne Welles, Gary Zupkas & K. Anderson Yancy
Description: During WWII’s Battle of The Bulge, an African-American Captain in a testament to human resilience, leavened by healthy doses of ingenuity and humor, struggles to mold battle-scarred African-American and White survivors from segregated units into a single effective fighting force amidst the horrors of the conflict and myriad forms of racism including Black on Black.
Time Length: 2 hours 10 minutes 33 Seconds (130:33)
CAUTION: Contains Adult Themes, Situations & Language!
Historical and Social Significance of The Story & The Battle:
During the Second World War, African-American and White soldiers saw combat in totally segregated units until December 16, 1944. On that date, the Nazis launched their last major offensive--Hitler’s Master Stroke, Die Wacht Am Rhein (The Watch On The Rhein) or, as we called it, The Battle of The Bulge. With Allied troops decimated by the German spearhead and facing a continuing Nazi onslaught, integration became a necessity of survival.
This engagement is an integral part of U.S. History and became a catalyst for social changes that are even now still at work in the United States and the rest of the world.
As a direct result of The Battle of The Bulge, the U.S. Army was permanently integrated. In a domino effect, all military services were later desegregated, followed by the federal government and ultimately the private sector.
Screenwriting Awards won by The Battle Within The Bulge:
Finalist, Hollywood Black Film Festival 1999
Semi-Finalist, Heart of Austin Film Festival 1999
Semi-Finalist, Texas Film Institute, 2000
Semi-Finalist, Writer’s Network 1998
Time Length: 2 hours 10 minutes 33 Seconds (130:33)

Performed By: Jimmer Bolden, Kirk Bradley, Ben Fahy, Johnathan Goodwin, Robert Gworek, Don Kapa, Michael Latishaw, Michael Summers, Walter Murray, Greg Rhode, Dan Ryman, John Terenin, Anne Welles, Gary Zupkas & K. Anderson Yancy
Description: During WWII’s Battle of The Bulge, an African-American Captain in a testament to human resilience, leavened by healthy doses of ingenuity and humor, struggles to mold battle-scarred African-American and White survivors from segregated units into a single effective fighting force amidst the horrors of the conflict and myriad forms of racism including Black on Black.
Time Length: 2 hours 10 minutes 33 Seconds (130:33)
CAUTION: Contains Adult Themes, Situations & Language!
Historical and Social Significance of The Story & The Battle:
During the Second World War, African-American and White soldiers saw combat in totally segregated units until December 16, 1944. On that date, the Nazis launched their last major offensive--Hitler’s Master Stroke, Die Wacht Am Rhein (The Watch On The Rhein) or, as we called it, The Battle of The Bulge. With Allied troops decimated by the German spearhead and facing a continuing Nazi onslaught, integration became a necessity of survival.
This engagement is an integral part of U.S. History and became a catalyst for social changes that are even now still at work in the United States and the rest of the world.
As a direct result of The Battle of The Bulge, the U.S. Army was permanently integrated. In a domino effect, all military services were later desegregated, followed by the federal government and ultimately the private sector.
Screenwriting Awards won by The Battle Within The Bulge:
Finalist, Hollywood Black Film Festival 1999

How He Saved St. Michael's
Written By: Mary A. P. Stansbury
Performed By: K. Anderson Yancy
Description: The thrilling true-life story of how the famous Charleston, SC, church of St. Michael’s was saved from fire by the daring act of a slave.
"How He Saved St. Michael's" is a very old tale and the church which the negro slave saved from destruction is said to have been St. Philip's instead of St. Michael's, but the deed was so brave, that the story has lived for over a century, and will continue to live on.
A great fire was raging furiously in the city of Charleston, South Carolina. Building after building had been destroyed, and gale winds carried sparks far and wide, spreading the destruction. The lofty spire of St. Philip's Episcopal Church caught fire almost two hundred feet above the ground, in an apparently inaccessible place, and the people in the streets below saw with dismay that one of their city's dearest possessions seemed about to be lost to them.
Risking his life a slave managed to save the church; as a reward was promptly given his freedom; and in his free life, he took the name Will Philip Lining.

Government Slaves
Written By: K. Anderson Yancy
Performed By: K. Anderson Yancy
Description:
Coming Soon:
Enraged by a travesty of justice created by a legal system out of check, an African-American attorney gives America a wake up call--by demonstrating that our freedoms aren’t as boundless as we think--when he initiates a case, arguing that the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution freeing the slaves was nullified by the 16th Amendment, the one legitimizing income tax, and that the result is slavery is constitutionally permissible in the United States today.
