GLORY
     In this Hartwick Classic Film Leadership Case®, students learn what few know: that not only was the Civil War the war to free the slaves, many people of color themselves fought in the war.  They watch as members of the 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry made up of entirely African Americans fight an uphill battle across impossible terrain against the Confederate army.  They were decimated, but their performance and dedication so impressed the army that it began to recruit African Americans into its ranks.  But there is more here than history.  The case profiles the story of a young white officer who, although doubtful about their capabilities, is ordered to lead a regiment of African Americans.  Students are encouraged to think about the insights into both race and humankind that the film suggests.  They are also struck by the numerous cases of emergent leadership that reveal themselves in the regiment.  Finally, they focus on how the officers and men forge themselves together into an effective organization based on mutual trust.
