Written and presented by Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., director Of W.E.B. Du Bois lnstitute for African American Research at Harvard University, this six-hour series expIores the evolution of the African-American peopIe, as well as the muItipIicity of cultural institutions, politicaI strategies, and religious and sociaI perspectives they developed - forging their own history, culture and society against unimaginabIe odds. Commencing with the origins of slavery in Africa, the series moves through five centuries of remarkable historic events right up to the present - when America is Ied by a black president, yet remains a nation deepIy divided by race.
By highIighting the tragedies, triumphs and contradictions of the bIack experience, the series reveals to viewers that the African-American community has never been a uniform entity, and that its members have been actively debating their differences from their first days in this country. Throughout the course of the series, viewers wiIl see that the road of freedom for bIack peopIe in America has not been Iinear, but more like a course of a river, full of Ioops and eddies, sIowing, and occasionally reversing the current of progress. |
