Documentary film: King's Native Sons

The Wells Center on American Exceptionalism and Restorative Justice is a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation whose raison d’être is to serve as a catalyst for ideas, strategies, and intellectual stimulation through Scholarship, Engagement, and Action (SEA) in the creation of thought-provoking social, economic, and academic SEA-change in global arenas. The Wells Center advances the idea that structural racism, racial injustice, and economic disparity in America today is the product of a colonial times criminal scheme on the part of white Englishmen against black Englishmen and the documentary base for attacking its legitimacy is Anglo Saxon jurisprudence, the British common law and England’s Magna Carta of 1215, the Royal Assent by Commission Act of 1541, the Sedition Act of 1661, the American Colonies (aka Declaratory) Act of 1766, Rex v. Staypalton (1771) and Somerset v. Stewart (1772). 

As we mark America’s 250th year, we must confront the legal and moral contradictions that persist. For if America is to endure another 250 years as a democracy, it will not do so by clinging to the discredited fictions of the past. Instead, they must be confronted. The unfinished work  of liberty requires not  just  commemoration but correction.

To restore justice, we must regain truth—and with it, the rule  of law that once defined liberty itself.

Through our  national initiative—#sea change 250: The Unrecognized Fourth—the Wells Center on American Exceptionalism and Restorative Justice, seeks to embed this evidence-based forensically supported history into  the public square with dignity and rigor. By integrating historical-legal scholarship, public education, and civic convenings, we aim  to help the nation confront its foundational legal betrayals honestly and renew its commitment to the rule  of law as it marks its 250th year.

Over  2025–2026, we will:

• Produce and distribute documentary film: KING’S NATIVE SONS: THE UNRECOGNIZED FOURTH. A sweeping historical documentary that exposes the forgotten legal truth behind the American Revolution: that Britain’s abolition of colonial slave laws— not taxation—ignited the rebellion and redefined liberty for 500,000 Afro-English subjects. As the United States nears its 250th anniversary, this film reframes the Revolution’s origin story—revealing how the founding generation’s defiance of English law was less a fight for liberty than a revolt against equality under that law. It demands a national reckoning with the 500,000 Afro-English subjects whose lawful freedom was erased in 1776.
• Commission and publish white papers and host law-and-history symposia with university partners;
• Create accessible curricula, exhibits, and short-form media for classrooms, museums, and cultural venues;
• Train fellows and community ambassadors to elevate descendant narratives across the nation.

To maximize the impact of this  audacious initiative with excellence and transparency, we are seeking strategic partners and individuals over the next 24 months as part of our  2025–2026 national program. The task before us is therefore clear: to make good on America's promise, to confront injustice, and to reimagine the history of America ,,, not  as a fictional story ... but as a living reality with an unfulfilled promise.
