"I am thrilled about the highly qualified and deeply authentic team who have chosen to step forward and volunteer for this important startup effort," remarks Morrison in a recent Browniac Digest blog post at johnbrownproject.org, "we should be able to build a solid media organization on the organizational building blocks designed by this exceptional group of people."

The group's first film, His Truth Is Marching On, is a musical documentary exploring American music from 1619 to hip-hop through "the John Brown song," that won state and national awards and was featured in Black History Film Festivals in Washington, DC and Atlanta, GA.

The organization's new film, Pushing The Rock, explores systemic racism in the United States through personal stories of underappreciated heroes using music, scholarship, drama, primary sources, and comedy. Having interviewed a living Tuskegee Airman, two leading reconstruction scholars, and a Black-banjo and music historian, they have a start on production, which begins in earnest this spring. Many interview clips are available on the John Brown Project's YouTube channel and social media outlets. The film is due for release on Juneteenth, 2026, during the 250th anniversary of the United States.
