I happened to see the climactic moment when the Best Picture was announced and surprise, surprise, the winner was "Red Tails".
As I watched the award being given out, I found it rather odd to see the rather short and stout George Lucas being surrounded by four taller African American gentlemen who were obviously associated with the film.
Lucas' appearance at the NAACP Image Awards along with his passionate advocacy for making "Red Tails" and his recent donation of $4 Billion for educational endeavors caused me to look him up to see what may be behind Lucas' new take on life.
One of the first articles that came up was this:

Having seen the movie "Lincoln" and read about the role the private life of Thaddeus Stevens may have had on his advocacy for the Thirteenth Amendment, I could only begin to wonder if maybe George Lucas' passion for "Red Tails" stemmed from the recent developments in his private life as well.
If so, then it behooves us all to never underestimate the Power of Love.
