Nah. Robert Smalls slaps.
Robert Smalls was a really awesome dude. The historical circumstances that determined the course of his life are profoundly tragic.
If you view his life from a cinematic perspective, yeah it slaps. From a historical perspective, he lived and died and the societal conditions which he struggled against remained essentially unchanged. He's a historical footnote.
