S1 E1: Along with the cold-blooded cruelty of slavery in America and throughout the world, there are stories of incredible resistance and rebellion... ones that ultimately paved the way to abolition. In this episode, we follow actress CCH Pounder to New Orleans, home of one of the bloodiest—and least known—slave revolts in history, and join Hollywood star and producer Debbie Allen as she revisits the mutiny aboard the Amistad. Finally, the daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr. reflects on how the spirit of rebellion drove the civil rights movement.
