that takes a deeper look

00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:15.341
at the impact of slavery on America.

7
00:00:15.341 --> 00:00:18.136

It may rile some people up

11
00:00:26.339 --> 00:00:27.789
to discuss these topics,

12
00:00:27.789 --> 00:00:30.420
but ignoring them doesn't
make them go away.

13
00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:32.400
It's long past time for America

14
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:34.435
to truly reckon with this history

00:00:34.435 --> 00:00:37.770
of how Black people have
been treated in this country.

16
00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:38.989
The best way to do that

17
00:00:38.989 --> 00:00:42.420
is with smart, engaging
series like this one.
