Africa's Great Civilizations

I had to skip out on the second half of episode 1, due to recent overexposure to religion. I expect it was as insightful as the first half. Basically, we overemphasized the Greeks and Romans in my education, and largely overlooked their predecessors in Africa. The second half covered the pervasive religions which have emerged from Africa, and I just didn't want to watch the wars which established them as state religions.

Tonight, I watched episode 2, and the second half thoroughly examined the slave trade. The first half laid out the complex trade and diplomatic relations with Europe that led to the unprecedented export of millions of people to the Western Hemisphere. Gates didn't pull any punches, either, showing no more sympathy or condemnation for either the African or European slave traders. It's a beautiful documentary film on a very difficult subject. Hard to watch, but worth it.

I last night laying in bed watch part of The Simpsons episode "Helter Shelter" from season 14. Didn't finsh because I had to go to bed.

Yeah, if there's an episode you're not going to finish, it might as well be a poor episode like that one.

Nice to see you again...Corny.

How do you know me?

American Masters: Maya Angelou, And Still I Rise

She has inspired me for decades, and I haven't read many of her books. I'd rather listen to her speak.

NHK A Century on Film

The current episode covers the establishment of homelands, and various instances of ethnic cleansing in short film clips. The series recovers and restores archival footage, and some of the stuff they find will amaze anyone. I highly recommend this series.
