From a documentary on the abolition of slavery to an exploration of our communities in the 60s and 70s through film and music, PBS will air a slew of programs that will enlighten and inform during Black History Month.
Check out my must-see choices:

Independent Lens "Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock": This program tells the story of Daisy Bates' life and public support of nine black students who registered to attend the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, which culminated in a constitutional crisis — pitting a president against a governor and a community against itself.

great post. i will watch all 3.
thank you
I've already missed two of them but I'll tune in to the 3rd! I'll be looking for others too. I try to catch these type of shows year round and pass it on to my children. They need to know how we got in this situation and more importantly how incredible we are to be still standing! Take that devils!
