| Description: |
Many Rivers to Cross. Written and produced by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., this 6-hour series explores the evolution of the African-American people, as well as the multiplicity of cultural institutions, political strategies, and religious and social perspectives they developed. Commencing with the origins of slavery in Africa, the series moves through 5 centuries of historic eventsright up to the present. By highlighting the tragedies, triumphs and contradictions of the black experience, the series reveals that the African-American community has never been a uniform entity, and that its members have been debating their differences from the first days in this country. The road to freedom has not been linear. |
