In Philadelphia in 1776, a bargain was struck with South Carolina allowing slavery--it was a deal that would lead to disaster.

The Civil War does not end in 1865 and the blood of many Americans continues to flow freely. Counter-insurgency groups form like the Lowry Gang. All Americans feel the Civil War's aftershocks for years while some believe its tremors are felt even today.

An in-depth, sobering look at the tragic events of a century ago. The documentary focuses on a specific period, from the birth of Black Wall Street, to its catastrophic downfall over the course of two bloody days, and finally the fallout and reconstruction. Also follows the city's current-day grave excavation efforts at Oaklawn Cemetery where numerous unmarked coffins of victims who were killed and buried during the massacre have been recovered.

For Love of Liberty: The Story of America’s Black Patriots is hosted Halle Barry and features the voices of several distinguished actors, including Morgan Freeman, Lou Gossett Jr., Angela Bassett, Robert Duvall and many more. This special salutes the contributions of African American men and women throughout our nation’s history.

African Americans have fought bravely for America throughout our history. But sadly, until recently, they didn't receive deserved commendations.

Selma, Alabama, March 7, 1965. A line of civil rights protestors crossed the Edmund Pettis Bridge on a march to the capital in Montgomery. Alabama State Troopers blocked their path, and the unprovoked brutality that followed shocked a nation and moved President Johnson to press for passage of a voting rights bill. We trace events leading up to "Bloody Sunday", draw on personal experiences, and provide an unique backdrop to one of America's most turbulent times.
