When the United States of America was founded, the ideals of freedom and equality did not apply to all people. These are the stories of the brave Americans who fought to right the nation’s wrongs and enshrine the values we hold most dear into the Constitution — with liberty and justice for all. Executive produced and hosted by Will Smith.

After ratification, violent atrocities, court rulings and the Lost Cause ideology systematically subvert the 14th Amendment's promises of equality.

  • I really have to thank my history teacher for showing us this because even though she isn’t required to or even allowed to teach us about this she does, even with the risk of being fired.
  • @blawom
    This should be required viewing in all schools.
  • As that last lady said; "they are lucky that Black People are looking for equality and not revenge" let that sink in White America
  • @buruuno589
    Since history in schools ignore this, I will make sure my kids watch all the episodes...
  • As a 58yr black man from Los Angeles. I am ashamed not to know my black history. God bless those who paved the way for me. "Tell my people to go West" exactly what my grandparents did. Texas to California..
  • As a whitewashed American, I have learned HISTORY from Netflix and Social Media---more than what I have learned from any school, college and university in America. Thank you Netflix.
  • @keamokoofdasun
    This was intense - needs a thorough rewatch, relisten and more footnotes.
  • I hope that people watch this and don't let perception bias distort the intended message.
  • "We thought of you as a superior pet"---Mr Hasty. Times haven't changed that much for some folks.
  • @adiojohn8404
    What this documentary does is powerful, it teaches history while still helping defuse the anger stoked in one's heart seeing the vile history of America's past.
  • "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house"---Audre Lorde, poet

  • @Kenyanbass

  • @thestoryofjyo
    This documentary made me cry and then the end credits scene is a beat with the Roblox "oof" sampled???
  • @randht
    I see why there is complete silence and encouragement from the United States for Israel and their treatment of the Palestinians. Same people, same ideology, and same hatred for other human beings.
  • @blawom
    THE MOST HIGH WILL AVENGE HIS PEOPLE. IT HAS ALREADY STARTED.
  • This was pretty interesting. Good on you Will for pulling this together. Very educational
  • @exilednight1

  • @lindapratt119
