“African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross"
This series chronicles the full sweep of African American history, from the origins of slavery
on the African continent through five centuries of historic events right up to present day
— when America has a black President, yet remains a nation deeply divided by race.
It explores the origins of the people from Africa whose enslavement led to the creation of the African American people, as
well as the multiplicity of cultural institutions, political strategies, and religious and social perspectives that African Americans
have developed against unimaginable odds. All of these elements define black culture and society in its extraordinarily
rich and compelling diversity from slavery to freedom, from the plantation to the White House. Hosted by Harvard scholar
Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and drawing on some of America’s top historians and heretofore untapped primary sources, the
series guides viewers on a journey across 500 years and two continents to shed new light on the experience of being an
African American.
