VHS Movie Reviews of Africans in America (4pc) [VHS]
Movie Review: Indepth series, great for an African American History Course
Summary: 5 Stars
This series is so indepth that you may not be able to show the entire series during a regular survey course of US History. I have created video viewing guides that are available in the teacherspayteachers website for the first three segments.
Summary of Africans in America (4pc) [VHS]
A vital, valuable documentary. - People The documentary equivalent of Roots. - Orlando Sentinel Everything you thought you knew about slavery is about to be challenged. Africans in America: America's Journey Through Slavery is the groundbreaking series that makes history by sharing it from a new perspective. Nearly ten years in the making, this landmark six-hour set exposes the truth through surprising revelations, dramatic recreations, rare archival photography and riveting first-person accounts. Africans in America helps define the reality of slavery's past through the insightful commentary of a wide range of voices, including General Colin Powell and leading scholars, and offers unparalleled understanding--from slavery's birth in the early 1600s through the violent onset of civil war in 1860. Narrated by Angela Bassett; includes the voices of William Hurt and Andre Braugher. Winner 1998 Peabody Award."Everything you thought you knew about slavery is about to be challenged." So says WGBH about its six-hour series Africans in America, and they are absolutely right. Interviews with historians and luminaries such as General Colin Powell, dramatic re-creations of important events, and beautiful photography create a vivid and compelling story of over 400 years of tragedy. Ten million Africans died on the journey to America alone; they and the countless numbers whose lives were wasted in servitude find a voice in Angela Bassett's outstanding narration. At once scholarly and moving, Africans in America should be required viewing for anyone interested in the American condition. --Rob Lightner
