Spike Lee spoke with Vanity Fair and said this about African American soldiers that were fighting in Vietnam at the time Dr.King was assassinated “Let me tell you a story. The United States Armed Forces came close to being torn apart when black soldiers heard that Dr. King was assassinated. They also heard that their brothers and sisters were tearing s**t up in over 100 cities across America. The tipping point came very close; the black soldiers were getting ready to set it off in Vietnam — and not against the Vietcong either.”
Da 5 Bloods will premiere June 12th on Netflix watch the trailer below
