Movie Reviews of Africans in America: America's Journey Through Slavery
Movie Review: Massive Amount of Information
Summary: 5 Stars
I am absolutely NOT a history buff, so when I didn't have to take a bunch of history classes in high school, I was okay with that. But when I got to Northern Michigan University and realized how some locations can completely snub African American literature by not teaching it, it annoyed me. It also made me want to learn more. Since then, I have found interesting ways to learn more about my own history. An Amazon friend gave this DVD such a high rating (and he doesn't like much of anything) so I had to check it out. I picked it up at the library figuring it was going to be pretty dry but educational. Wrong! Not only was it educational, but it was the most interesting way to ever learn about African American history for someone like me. Bassett has a wonderful storytelling voice, there were enough anecdotes to make it feel heartwrenching, the information was endless, and it was so well documented. I am completely impressed and bought a copy for myself. It's such a satisfying feeling to be able to back up emotions with actual facts and this DVD gave a lot of hidden information that we'll never find in "American" history books. Great job!
