Hi Arlin,
You posted something on October 9 about a PBS special on Columbus
that you said hinted that: "Modern Afro-Americans' forebears VOLUNTARILY
came to nroth america to be "strong farmers, and ranchers, and cowboys, and
workers," and "That the slave trade did all of Africa a FAVOR by introducing
them to corn!"
That sounds pretty incredible. I know it's been a while, but do you
remember anything about the show: it's title? it's date? what exactly it
said about those things? The reason is that I do a media criticism column
for a local alternative paper, and right now I'm surveying Public Television.
That would be an excellent piece to review if you can give me anymore info.
If you can get the info, many thanks. If you can't, thanks anyway.
Chris
