Slavery And The Making Of America
PBS will be airing "Slavery And The Making Of America" on February 9th and the 16th (2006) from 9:00 PM to 11:00PM. It is a four part series produced by Dante James and narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Dante is an incredible filmmaker who has produced many award winning films; among them biographies on Marian Anderson and A. Philip Randolph. He worked with the late great filmmaker Henry Hampton at Blackside and was the executive producer of Hampton's last series "This Far By Faith: African American Spiritual Journeys".
"Slavery And The Making Of America" tells the story of slavery from the point of view of the enslaved. The series recognizes the strength, humanity and dignity of the enslaved. It also redefines them as pro-active freedom fighters not passive victims.
I thought it essential to share this with you and to encourage you to watch. If we can create a large audience for this important series, PBS will be more inclined to produce and air more programs that address the African-American experience.
Please do not miss this eye-opening moment in history. You can pass this information on and/or link to this site---only, please be sure to tune in.
