About this title

Synopsis

Renowned scholar and New York Times bestselling author Henry Louis Gates, Jr., delivers a stirring and authoritative companion to the major new PBS documentary America Behind the Color Line. The evolution of African American society has split into two very distinct and striking communities, according to Henry Louis Gates, Jr.-the privileged and the disenfranchised. Viewed through the lens of four intrinsic elements of the African American experience-Black Hollywood, The Black Elite, The Ghetto, and The New South-Gates examines the legacy of the Civil Rights movement, tracing the fascinating journey of black people since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
