Page 7 - THE FORTRESS OF FREEDOM

• It’s an epic story about freedom pioneers, something

that goes with the current trend in fiction (giving

voice to marginalized groups).
• The characters evolved in a more complex and multi-

cultural world (Seminole Indians, Spanish, English,

slaves of African origin) rather than in a classic black
and white archetype.

• The story focuses on various aspects of black

empowerment.

• We also value the economic aspect (slaves as a labor
force that generated significant wealth, and never

reached their hands). This aspect is often overlooked

in the subject.
