  • Ken Burns and Henry Louis Gates have explored how race is part of the American fabric.They examine how race and conceptions of race, along with ideas about freedom and independence, influence our politics and policies, from abolitionism to civil rights to the war on poverty and what it means to have an African American as President.
    With USC Professor Todd Boyd as moderator, Burns and Gates will discuss why race is critical to their understanding of America and their work and how as a nation we deal with race today.

    Ken Burns is so honest and objective, how does he do that and his documentary, are off the chain.

    I am just finding this now and am SO thankful. As of recent, I've learned a great deal from the collaborations that Henry Louis Gates, Jr. has contributed to especially with Ken Burns.
    I never knew about the contribution of Charles Black and his encounter with Louis Armstrong in the town I live in. I love seeing genius in people of color and look forward to the uplift with our new President and Vice President of the United States!

    Much of US political discourse is addressed to and direçted at the Middle Class.

      When will a fulsome conversation about race in America -- particularly one with genuine reconciliation as a goal -- begin?
      To repair (reconcile) one's relationship with our fellow man or God, two components must accompany apology: acceptance of responsibility & genuine contrition. Merely saying "I'm sorry" is insufficient in relationships both holy or mortal. South Africa's "Truth & Reconciliation" program could serve as an adaptable model for America.

      When there's enough economic equality and enough political representation and a non-disproportionate prison population and the statistics show that cops don't go after non-white people more often?
      I think that's when it ends.

      He didn’t get fired but I believe he hide Ben Affleck and I think another famous person who didn’t want their ancestors( slave master ) to get out to the public. I think he got suspended because he got caught. He’s back with PBS.

So, the start of the following season of "Finding Your Roots" was postponed for a few months while the accusations were being investigated. Affleck eventually said he was wrong and that he was "sorry". Dr. Gates was never suspended nor was his show cancelled. Ben Affleck just made a complete ASS of himself!
