Among Kings

A black American missionary-explorer risks everything to save a nation, leading to the first international human rights trial. Inspired by true events, Among Kings tells the inspiring story of William Sheppard, the first African American missionary to the Congo who rescues the entire nation enslaved by Belgian's ruthless King Leopold II. Traveling 1,000 miles up the Congo River with Samuel Lapsley, his white missionary companion, the two overcome deadly fevers, dangerous animals, and cannibal tribes. Sheppard becomes a famous explorer honored by kings, queens, and presidents. Armed with a camera, he exposes widespread Congo atrocities to the world. When Sheppard speaks out against the atrocities to save the Congo nation, Leopold lashes back with a slander lawsuit, forcing the first international human rights trial between Belgium and America. Among Kings is a riveting tale of courage, greed, enslavement, freedom, and justice.
