In our second and third hours we conclude the month-long focus on race relations in the U.S. and internationally. An examination of the slave burial grounds discovered in New York City reveals a profound history of African people in that region of the country. Also the so-called "Tulsa Riot" of 1921 is reviewed as one the worst acts of mass slaughter and destruction in the U.S. directed against African Americans. Finally a retrospective on the South African Revolution is presented through an audio documentary championing the heroic role of the masses in that country.
