Road Scholars
In 2009, twelve at-risk Black teenage boys set out to interview Black men from all walks of life. The kids hoped that what they learned might keep them from the streets. Today, they are young men coming of age in an America trying to turn back the clock on tolerance and race. When they reunite with the older generation, can the wisdom of the past help keep them from becoming yet another statistic?
Reckoning and Repair
Confronting the past can bring hope, healing, and a path toward justice. Anneliese uncovers her great-grandmother’s account of the Tulsa Race Massacre; Paul reflects on his mother’s resilience following Japanese American internment; and Larry reconnects with his roots by channeling his grandfather's strength. Three storytellers, three interpretations of Reckoning and Repair, hosted by Wes Hazard.
