NNPA NEWSWIRE — The film “Birth of a Planet” tells the story of a group of 13 formerly enslaved men in Richmond, Va. who used a printing press, ink and courage to battle the horrific realities of the Jim Crow south – demanding to have their voices heard, no matter the cost. In an era defined by lynchings, segregation and voter suppression, the Richmond Planet and its fearless editor John Mitchell, Jr. exposed stories of brutality, racism and injustice – issues that eerily remain just as relevant 140 years later.
