==Context==
The basis of the movie is rooted to World War I when many Americans still thought the African Americans to be inferior. Blacks yearned for a figure head that would represent their willingness to serve the United States. This person was Captain Billy Stokes. He was a black fighter pilot and an inspiration when it came to breaking through racial barriers to serve the nation. Because he was such an inspiration, Richard Norman introduced a new light when he thought to make race movies to give different ethnic groups, especially blacks, hope in a segregated country. Although a white man, he wanted to reveal the strength of the blacks in America. Before launching his "race movie" industry, the Great Migration occurred in the early 1900s. He took advantage of the many blacks that emigrated to the North (in America) from the South by attracting them with such movies. Through developing race movies, Norman and his company became one of the three foremost names and producers in racial movies in America.
