In the PBS series, MAKING BLACK AMERICA: THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE, famed documentarian, Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., sits down with noted scholars, politicians, cultural leaders and old friends to explore what it means to be a Black American in a country where racial discrimination and white supremacy still exist.
