“The Negro people of America... have cut our forests, tilled our fields, built our railroads, fought our battles, and in all of their trials they have manifested a simple faith, a grateful heart, a cheerful spirit, and an undivided loyalty .”

Unlike Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, who have seen it all and been through it all, everything heightens the drama.”
