Alex and I just watched an amazing documentary on MSNBC called "Meeting David Wilson". The documentary is about a young African American man named David Wilson who travels to North Carolina to meet a decendant of the family (also named David Wilson) who owned his ancestors 150 years ago. During the program, David spends a day picking tobacco on a North Carolina farm and travelling to the actual NC plantation where his ancestors once lived and worked. David ends the documentary with a trip to Ghana Africa, the home country of his ancestors.
The film is not only a historical documentary, but also a study in race and race relations. It was absolutely an amazing documentary, and I highly recommend everyone watch it.
According to my TV schedule, it will repeat on MSNBC at 12 midnight ET, and again at 3 am ET, Saturday morning.
