“With any good projects, I feel like the off-screen chemistry factors on-screen. It's great when you don't have to force it, but when it's not there you better focus on getting there, because as we live with these characters we spend more time with one another than we do our families at home.” FeelsCharacterHomeForceFocusProjectsScreensFactorsOur FamilyMore TimeChemistry Author:Aldis Hodge
“The time frame and how people treated each other was upsetting, but what's great about this story is that they really focus on the strengths of these people and the strengths of the culture, of who these Americans were. That, actually, is uplifting.” PeopleStoriesCultureFocusTreatedUpliftingUpset Author:Aldis Hodge
“They don't really focus on that history here in America. I remember growing up as a kid, history class was very washed-over. They didn't really get into the gritty bits of slavery. It's a very, very small section in the history books. It's not something they really touch on directly with American curriculums.” BookKidsAmericaRememberBitsClassGrowing UpFocusGrowingSlaverySectionsCurriculumHistory BooksHistory Class Author:Aldis Hodge
