I Learned Something!
yomama11 | 02/05/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was very impressed. There are some facts(?) mentioned that I was not aware of; specifically, free black people in New York around the same time, or before European immigrants. I told some co-workers about this DVD, who's families immigrated to New York. They are anxious to see it. Next question. Should I let them borrow mine, or make them buy there own. We'll see how much they really are into history."
