For three days I was an extra in AMISTAD filmed in Mystic, Conn. I was a longshoreman.
During the filming the emotions that I saw my brothers and sisters of color convey when
they saw the "Slave" actors it made you appreciate all the sacrifices of our
ancestors. I would leave the shoot with the attitude "before I'd be a slave...I'd be
resting in my grave". One thing in particular I noted was that Mr. Spielberg treated
the actors who potrayed slaves as royalty...they had luxury line buses, dinned away from
the regular cast and crew... which was a good thing. In as much sometimes during the
shoot, some of the "white counterparts" would continue acting like slave owners
even when they were ordered to "CUT".
