Release of the 1985 PBS television program American Playhouse.
Mary Alice, Ned Beatty, Melba Moore.
This is the story of a hero, perhaps not a traditional hero. Charlotte Forten was an extraordinary young woman. As a part of President Lincoln's 'great experiment,' she journeyed south to Sea Island, where she sought to give newly freed black children a decent education and the chance for a better life. In many ways the story is as remarkable as the lady who lived it.
