Project History works best when people can see themselves in it.
Africans in America will broaden people's understanding of our past and how it has shaped our views about race and equality today. Orlando Bagwell, Executive Producer Africans in America is a landmark documentary series that explores the singular impact of slavery on Americans, white and black, as they forged a new nation. Africans in America also featured a far-reaching national outreach campaign designed to help youth in schools and communities think in new ways about our country's history. This project was undertaken in the belief that, when approached openly and honestly, our nation's story can inspire all Americans to grapple with what it means to be a citizen in a multicultural society, to share a common history, and to be an American. The Africans in America outreach campaign encompassed a range of activities.
