BLACK AMERICA SINCE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: AND STILL I RISE
PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET
Part 1 of 2. This new four-hour documentary series is from Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and looks at the evolution of “black America” in the nearly 50 years since the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. According to very recent headlines, that evolution continues, and is no less problematic, complex, and at times inspirational or volatile.
