Thank you. Finally. In school, i think I saw only one paragraph about reconstruction and that was in 1994. And asking your teacher to teach further information in the south was not received well.

Question, all thse negative comments, did you all even watch the documentary? I do encourage people to watch it before you judge it. We just can't be angry everytime someone makes a documentary about black history, without even watching it first, wow.
