are excellent, think I've seen almost all of them including "Many Rivers to Cross," and his latest, "Reconstruction, America After the Civil War' based on his book, "Stony The Road."

Many achievements have been made to address the brutal and unjust systemic racism in this country, but there's more work to be done as we know in these tumultuous times. Reparations like the University of Glasgow's are a positive step in a long road of redress. https://www.thenation.com/article/henry-louis-gates-jr-and-the-long-arc-of-reconstruction/
