Otis Lee Jr.
Otis Lee has become the unofficial US Ambassador to the Quilombos of Brazil.
In the United States, the Quilombolas have no greater advocate than Otis, who has dedicated the remainder of his life's work to seeing that their story is known well, and that - as he puts it - they get what they deserve.
His book, "I Was Born In The Forest," shares their history, their plight, and what travelers will find if they go see the Quilombos for themselves.
Otis and his wife Michelle are the Executive Producers of a documentary film by the same name that in production now with Fascination Film Studio.
