This comprehensive program chronicles the institution of slavery in North America, beginning with the notorious "middle passage" through Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, the Civil War, emancipation, and Reconstruction. Expert interviews and archival photographs help to describe family life, religion, resistance to enslavement, the Abolitionist Movement, and post-war difficulties of newly emancipated people, dispelling the myth that slavery was a passive state and highlighting the persistent struggle by African-Americans to end it.
