I watched all of the segments, and I have to say that even though I have few doubts about Dr. Gates' "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" leanings, it provided a fairly in-depth view of how life has changed for African Americans since the Civil Rights Movement.
(On a personal note, he gets extra brownie points for interviewing the sexiest actor alive, DON CHEADLE!)
Did anyone else watch? What were your thoughts?

Hubby and I watched some of the program and from what we saw, it was a very good show. I taped it so I'm going to watch it all this weekend. I thought that it was a real honest look at how far we as a people have come but there is still so much to be done. Hubby was impressed that Dr. Gates talked to people on all levels, not just the upper class like some programs have a tendency to do.
Sorry, Sistermadly, but ummm, Don Cheadle is not the sexiest actor alive. I believe that title belongs to Dennis Haysbert. LOL!!
If your PBS affiliate will not repeat the program, you can purchase it on VHS and DVD. Just call 1-800-PLAY-PBS. I believe that it is $24.95 for VHS and $34.95 for DVD.
