4. the best ever documentary
what got me the most deeply was the tiny portal they climbed through to board the ships. then my imaginings took over and i pondered the voyage where up to 80% died before arrival.

so very powerful. i watched with my very brown children.

peace and love to you

6. Great quote from the show:
“We have all these sorts of problems: gang violence, imprisonment. If we can understand our ancestors and understand the strength that they had, then we should realize by extension that we have that same strength — that we’re not the descendants of victims but victors.

7. I saw the show, and wish it were required
that everyone see it, like required reading in school. If all American adults don't see it, I hope at least it gets shown in our schools. It's the beginning a very important dialog,begun by our next President, and needs to be heard by many more ears.

10. It should have been aired
on NBC instead - to reach a far wider audience.
