" A fitting documentary on a true national treasure. When will Sweet Honey In The Rock be recognized by the American government as this true national treasure? Quite possibly we will have to wait until we are really really free. "

" Oh my Good and Gracious God! I was able to view this awesome film on my local PBS channel last evening. I have loved this group for years and was so happy to get a chance to learn more about them.
What a wonderful film. I laughed, I cried and I felt a new jolt of commitment to social justice. An important reminder of where this country was just a few short years ago and a call to all of us to continue to work toward justice for all people. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who worked on this film and did such a beautiful job of capturing the essence of SHIR. IT was truly a beautiful and inspirational film. Thanks for having the courage to go after the Iraqi mess -- in Kansas no less! Just one indication of the courage and beauty of this amazing group of strong women. "

" The PBS special was absolutly fabulous. The rich history that my sisters brought to us gave me chills. The only regret I have is that I have not yet seen them in person in concert. I have always caught them on a special on tv. If you have not yet seen this documentry you missed a historical peice of knowledge that all Americans should see. You have your chance to order the DVD please do so. To my sisters in Sweet Honey in the Rock may God continue to bless you in the journey that he has set before you. Continue to tell the truth and make a difference. "

" A masterpiece and a tribute to the culture and power of women - African American women. A must have that should grace the library of anyone serious about tradition, history, freedom. There is more to life than rap and R&B. There is a legacy of music that is expressed from beginning to end of this piece. It is definitely sweet honey in the rock - magnificient!!! "

" I just witnessed the awesome essence of Sweet Honey and the Rock. Now I know what lead me to stay up way past my bedtime. I was so enamored with SHIR, that I am now sitting at my computer at 4:42 am writing this comment. I plan to share with all my culturally inclined friends the phenomenon of SHIR. I am so pleased and blessed to be further add to the range and scope of beautiful, talented and successful black women. SHIR make me proud to be a black woman, although their music knows no bounds. Love, Peace, and Joy. "

" I was fortunate enough to view this on PBS on June 29th. I must say that I was deeply inspired and glued to the entire program. The amazing talent of this group as well as the film maker made the whole feature such a pleasure to watch. I look forward to watching it again with friends as well as attending the show here in Indianapolis in February. "

" Watching this on PBS was a pleasure. I was not surprised however. I have loved Sweet Honey for a long time. I used to see them perform at All Souls Unitarian Church in Washington, DC. Thank you my dear Sisters for singing out for those who could not find their voice and for representing those of us, on the world stage, who speak out and seek change every day where we are. Wishing you Peace & Blessings! "

" I cannot believe that the very first time I ever saw or heard of this Blessed and Glorious group was when I was searching for something to watch one night and turned to PBS. The program was nearly over, but the music touched my heart. I have never heard anything like Sweet Honey In The Rock. Regrettably, I was not able to find out when the program would be aired again. The very next day I called and ordered the the "Raise Your Voice" CD and DVD. The music is such a treasure to me -- thank you and God Bless. "
