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".

It hurt pretty bad but the truth always hurt especially when you encountering American History.
