I was surprised by that movie, Attack the Block, Jodie Whitaker has an Oscar nomination, and John more than held his own in it. I have not seen Imperial Dreams, but I will check it out. Thanks

My favorite Sci Fi show is Battlestar Galactica because it finally had a Hispanic in outer space, so I know what you mean by having someone you can relate to.

Have you seen "Attack The Block"? Half the cast is black, great movie with humor.

I was an officer in the chapter and a certified member of the cannon crew from the Chapter.

I started the TDITH series at the request of the Texas History teachers we work with and have decided to continue posting it on BlueSky rather than Facebook.
If you have questions ask away.
