The film tracks growth from the modest one-room inaugural dance to the huge events now conducted at a massive venue. Staff works long hours to provide a warm welcome to native and ally visitors from around the country. When traditional conservative powwow protocol conflicts with queer-positive identity, the two-spirit powwow changes up the rules. For LGBTQ natives still facing prejudice and stigmatization at home, just attending the powwow is a pioneering act of resistance. But when they arrive, some are surprised to find a welcoming community, great drumming and dancing, and a lot of fun.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_15895\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-15895\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/05/PennySupremeCourt1_t800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/05/PennySupremeCourt1_t800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/05/PennySupremeCourt1_t800-160x111.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/05/PennySupremeCourt1_t800-768x533.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Penny Cooper and others at the Supreme Court.

Beginning a full century before the first documented '20-and-odd' slaves arrived at Jamestown, Virginia, the episode portrays the earliest Africans, both slave and free, who arrived on these shores. But the Trans-Atlantic slave trade would soon become a vast empire connecting three continents. Through stories of individuals caught in its web, like a ten-year-old girl named Priscilla who was transported from Sierra Leone to South Carolina in the mid-18th century, we trace the emergence of plantation slavery in the American South. The late 18th century saw a global explosion of freedom movements, and The Black Atlantic examines what that Era of Revolutions-American, French and Haitian-would mean for African Americans, and for slavery in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>11:06am African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross — \"The Age of Slavery (1800-1860)\"\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\"The Age of Slavery\" illustrates how black lives changed dramatically in the aftermath of the American Revolution. For free black people in places like Philadelphia, these years were a time of tremendous opportunity. But for most African Americans, this era represented a new nadir. King Cotton fueled the rapid expansion of slavery into new territories, and a Second Middle Passage forcibly relocated African Americans from the Upper South into the Deep South. Yet as slavery intensified, so did resistance. From individual acts to mass rebellions, African Americans demonstrated their determination to undermine and ultimately eradicate slavery in every state in the nation. Courageous individuals, such as Harriet Tubman, Richard Allen and Frederick Douglass, played a crucial role in forcing the issue of slavery to the forefront of national politics, helping to create the momentum that would eventually bring the country to war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>12:17pm African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross — \"Into the Fire (1861-1896)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\"Into the Fire\" examines the most tumultuous and consequential period in African American history: the Civil War and the end of slavery, and Reconstruction's thrilling but tragically brief \"moment in the sun.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:29pm African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross \u003ci>—\u003c/i>\"Making A Way Out of No Way (1897-1940)\"\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSomething from Nothing portrays the Jim Crow era, when African Americans struggled to build their own worlds within the harsh, narrow confines of segregation. At the turn of the 20th century, a steady stream of African Americans left the South, fleeing the threat of racial violence, and searching for better opportunities in the North and the West. Leaders like Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey organized, offering vastly different strategies to further black empowerment and equality. Yet successful black institutions and individuals were always at risk. At the same time, the ascendance of black arts and culture showed that a community with a strong identity and sense of pride was taking hold in spite of Jim Crow. \"The Harlem Renaissance\" would not only redefine how America saw African Americans, but how African Americans saw themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:53pm African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross \u003ci>—\u003c/i>\"Rise!

As hundreds of African Americans won political office across the country and the black middle class made unprecedented progress, larger economic and political forces isolated the black urban poor in the inner cities, vulnerable to new social ills and an epidemic of incarceration. Yet African Americans of all backgrounds came together to support Illinois Senator Barack Obama in his historic campaign for the presidency of the United States. When he won in 2008, many hoped that America had finally transcended race and racism. By the time of his second victory, it was clear that many issues, including true racial equality, remain to be resolved.

Between 1986 and 1996, the PA Department of Environmental Protection issued seven permits for commercial waste facilities in the county, and five of them were in the 4.8 square miles of Chester. Concerned citizen Zulene Mayfield led a group called Chester Residents Concerned With Quality Living (CRCQL) as they stood up for the well-being of their community, becoming a national symbol for the growing environmental justice movement. \u003cem>Justice in Chester\u003c/em> chronicles the decades-long history of increasing pollution and grievances, and the grassroots struggle to halt the clustering of commercial and hazardous waste facilities in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_15638\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-15638\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/01/b923-019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/01/b923-019.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/19/2021/01/b923-019-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savoy Ballroom lindy hoppers rehearsing for the film Hellzapoppin' in 1941.

Beginning a full century before the first documented '20-and-odd' slaves arrived at Jamestown, Virginia, the episode portrays the earliest Africans, both slave and free, who arrived on these shores. But the Trans-Atlantic slave trade would soon become a vast empire connecting three continents. Through stories of individuals caught in its web, like a ten-year-old girl named Priscilla who was transported from Sierra Leone to South Carolina in the mid-18th century, we trace the emergence of plantation slavery in the American South. The late 18th century saw a global explosion of freedom movements, and The Black Atlantic examines what that Era of Revolutions-American, French and Haitian-would mean for African Americans, and for slavery in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>11:06am African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross — \"The Age of Slavery (1800-1860)\"\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\"The Age of Slavery\" illustrates how black lives changed dramatically in the aftermath of the American Revolution. For free black people in places like Philadelphia, these years were a time of tremendous opportunity. But for most African Americans, this era represented a new nadir. King Cotton fueled the rapid expansion of slavery into new territories, and a Second Middle Passage forcibly relocated African Americans from the Upper South into the Deep South. Yet as slavery intensified, so did resistance. From individual acts to mass rebellions, African Americans demonstrated their determination to undermine and ultimately eradicate slavery in every state in the nation. Courageous individuals, such as Harriet Tubman, Richard Allen and Frederick Douglass, played a crucial role in forcing the issue of slavery to the forefront of national politics, helping to create the momentum that would eventually bring the country to war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>12:17pm African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross — \"Into the Fire (1861-1896)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\"Into the Fire\" examines the most tumultuous and consequential period in African American history: the Civil War and the end of slavery, and Reconstruction's thrilling but tragically brief \"moment in the sun.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1:29pm African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross \u003ci>—\u003c/i>\"Making A Way Out of No Way (1897-1940)\"\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSomething from Nothing portrays the Jim Crow era, when African Americans struggled to build their own worlds within the harsh, narrow confines of segregation. At the turn of the 20th century, a steady stream of African Americans left the South, fleeing the threat of racial violence, and searching for better opportunities in the North and the West. Leaders like Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey organized, offering vastly different strategies to further black empowerment and equality. Yet successful black institutions and individuals were always at risk. At the same time, the ascendance of black arts and culture showed that a community with a strong identity and sense of pride was taking hold in spite of Jim Crow. \"The Harlem Renaissance\" would not only redefine how America saw African Americans, but how African Americans saw themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2:53pm African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross \u003ci>—\u003c/i>\"Rise!

As hundreds of African Americans won political office across the country and the black middle class made unprecedented progress, larger economic and political forces isolated the black urban poor in the inner cities, vulnerable to new social ills and an epidemic of incarceration. Yet African Americans of all backgrounds came together to support Illinois Senator Barack Obama in his historic campaign for the presidency of the United States. When he won in 2008, many hoped that America had finally transcended race and racism. By the time of his second victory, it was clear that many issues, including true racial equality, remain to be resolved.

For the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes living on the isolated Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming, new contact with lost artifacts risks opening old wounds but also offers the possibility for healing. What Was Ours is the story of how a young journalist and a teenage powwow princess, both of the Arapaho tribe, traveled together with a Shoshone elder in search of missing artifacts in the vast archives of Chicago's Field Museum. There they discover a treasure trove of ancestral objects, setting them on a journey to recover what has been lost and build hope for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5pm America ReFramed: Blood Memory (NEW)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAs political scrutiny over Native child welfare intensifies, an adoption survivor helps others find their way back home through song and ceremony.
