Below is a YouTube video interview with the Honorable Bro. **** Gregory on Django Unchained in response to Bro. Spike Lee remarks on the video:

Many people do not know that the character Django is based on a non-fictional character name: Dangerfield Newby. He was part of the John Brown Black Raiders. He joined the group because he was free and wanted his wife who was a **** to be free. Below is a letter from his wife found on Newby after his death:
Dear Husband: I want you to buy me as soon as possible, for if you do not get me somebody else will. The servants are very disagreeable; they do all they can to set my mistress against me. Dear Husband,. . . the last two years have been like a troubled dream to me. It is said Master is in want of money. If so, I know not what time he may sell me, and then all my bright hopes of the future are blasted, for there has been one bright hope to cheer me in all my troubles, that is to be with you, for if I thought I should never see you, this earth would have no charms fo me. Do all you can for me, which I have no doubt you will. I want to see you so much.
