A Huge S/O to @WGNMorningNews for their support of an #AmericanFreedman making history this week in Chicago. Chicagoans put Barack Obama in the White House…twice…making him the ‘first’ Black President. 
I suspect that my portrayal of the ‘first’ Black Deputy U.S. Marshal in my ‘first’ feature CORSICANA, being shown at two prestigious Chicago theaters, the @chicagoshowplaceicon and the @cinemachatham is going to become equally historical and culturally important. Why?
Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves efforts actually helped create the state of Oklahoma, much like John Baptiste DuSable created Chicago. You can’t be more empowering than those 3 achievements.
