Making Black America: Through the Grapevine

 Hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., this four-part series chronicles the vast social networks and organizations created by and for Black people—beyond the reach of the “White gaze.” Professor Gates sits with noted scholars, politicians, cultural leaders, and old friends to discuss this world behind the color line and what it looks like today. Making Black America: Through the Grapevine airs Fridays, February 3 and February 10 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV.
