35:38Now Playing#RolandsBookClub: “The Free and the Dead”: Black Seminole Chief Defies U.S. in Forgotten War
Roland Martin sits down with Jamie Holmes to discuss The Free and the Dead, the story of a Black Seminole chief and Indigenous allies who resisted U.S. forces in a war largely erased from American history.
Holmes explains how this alliance formed, what the fight looked like on the ground, and how U.S. expansion drove the conflict. The conversation centers on resistance, survival, and the history that continues to be overlooked.
