Loved this movie that was based upon the personal letters of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, and the novels Lay This Laurel, by Lincoln Kirstein, and One Gallant Rush, by Peter Burchard. This American Civil War story is based on the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the first formal unit of the US Army to be made up entirely of African American men. It's told by Robert Gould Shaw, its commanding officer during the American Civil War. With stars like Matthew Broderick and Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, here is "Glory"...
