Henry Louis Gates, Jr. introduces actors Debra Messing and Melanie Lynskey to their roots, telling stories of ancestors who made bold decisions that reshaped their families - and unwittingly transformed the lives of their descendants.
The story of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the most powerful civil rights organization ever created, through the key figures who shaped it. One of the most important but least understood figures in civil rights history, Walter White was the NAACP's longest reigning president. White clung to the belief that, for all its flaws, America held the seeds of its own redemption. When White took over the NAACP in 1929, Black Americans were socially and politically marginalized. By the time he died in 1955, they were a crucial segment of the electorate and on the brink of the landmark legal and legislative victories that would forever reshape the country. The NAACP (and its leading advocates), including White, WEB DuBois, Thurgood Marshall and Charles Hamilton Houston, created a blueprint for America to follow to live up to its ideals.

JOURNEYS OF BLACK MATHEMATICIANS is a two-part series that traces the cultural evolution of Black scholars, scientists and educators in the field of mathematics. The films follow the stories of prominent pioneers, illustrating the challenges they faced and how their triumphs are reflected in the experiences of today's mid-career Black mathematicians. Their mathematical descendants, in turn, are contemporary college students and K-12 children across the U.S. who are learning they belong in mathematics and STEM. Featuring more than 50 individuals, the series starts with the first Black Ph.D., Edward Bouchet (Yale, 1876), and W. W. S. Claytor, extraordinary exemplars from the early and mid-20th century who prepared the way for several of the trailblazers highlighted in the series. The role of HBCUs in producing Black mathematicians is a central theme. Sections on Morgan State, Howard University, Spelman College and Morehouse College connect the featured individuals in threads of mentorship stretching back to the 1940s. At every HBCU covered in the program, students stress the role of outstanding teachers who are responsible for advancing the math and science programs at the schools today. The search for ways to bring future generations into the mathematical fold is also an integral theme of the series.

RELIGION, RACISM & RECONCILIATION explores how racism is intertwined with American religion. It follows the stories of individuals and communities of faith who are engaged in addressing the issues of systemic racism, such as voting rights, income inequality, and mass incarceration. Viewers hear from a broad range of academic and religious luminaries who provide historical and sociological perspectives on the contradiction of an American society that values individual freedom and equality while ignoring the realities of slavery, segregation, and racism. The documentary shows that while religion plays a part in our racial division, it also serves as a meaningful force in our nation's healing and reconciliation. Part two focuses on the history of Mother Bethel AME Church, one of the oldest Black churches in America - established in 1794 in Philadelphia - and how it began when the Black parishioners were expelled in a moment of betrayal by the White church. The film also follows an interfaith group's bus tour throughout Pennsylvania to advocate for voting rights, which have been under attack in recent years. RELIGION, RACISM & RECONCILIATION explores the sociological differences between White Christians and Black Christians while highlighting the efforts that they are making to better their communities and reconcile the past.
