Publisher's Summary:

The number of African American baseball players in the major leagues has plummeted by two thirds since its peak in 1975. And while its increasingly difficult to find black players on the field, the opposite holds true for Latinos. They are playing the game in record numbers and represent a full quarter of big-league rosters. Sports historian Rob Ruck examines why blacks, who led the fight to integrate baseball, have now largely left the game. His book is titled Raceball: How the Major Leagues colonized the Black and Latin Game.

Next, Bob talks to renowned historian Simon Schama about his book Rough Crossing: Britain, the Slaves and the American Revolution. Schama asks this provocative question: If you were black in America at the start of the Revolutionary War, whom would you want to win?

Then, Bob talks with writer M. T. Anderson about his book The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing: Traitor to the Nation. This novel follows the story of a young Revolutionary-era slave, living in Boston, who discovers that his life isnt all that it seems. [Broadcast Date: February 27, 2012]

You also need some effort. Webb says a community is only as strong as its volunteers. Churches, after school programs, and all manner of service organizations rely on volunteers to complete their good works. And Webbs family is always on the front lines. Webb says volunteering is something her mother taught, and now she thinks of it as a family trait, like blue eyes or bossiness. [Broadcast Date: February 24, 2012]

Andre Dubus III grew up poor in Massachusetts mill towns, the oldest of four children of the renowned short-story writer Andre Dubus. The younger Dubuss life didnt start out impoverished. As a well-paid and much-admired college professor, Dubus the father had set up a bucolic existence for his family in the New England countryside. But after he abandoned them in 1968 for a young student, his sons life became marked with the violence and rage that often accompany poverty and abandonment. Now a celebrated writer himself, Andre Dubus III tells his candid life story in a new memoir, Townie.

Publisher's Summary:

With the end of the Civil War and the passage of the 13th Amendment, 4 million former slaves embarked on new lives with the promise of freedom. But labor laws and practices that arose during the post-Emancipation era effectively created new forms of slavery in the South that persisted well into the 20th century. A new documentary based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Douglas A. Blackmon explores this little-known history of forced labor. Slavery By Another Name premieres tonight at 9:00 PM ET on PBS stations nationwide. Bob speaks with the films director, Sam Pollard.
