African-American Lives 2. A Way Out of No Way
Description
Continuing to trace guests' lineages back through the late 1800s to the Civil War and earlier, this program features stories like that of Chris Rock's maternal great-great-grandfather, Julius Caesar Tingman, a black Civil War veteran who was twice elected to the South Carolina State Legislature; and Don Cheadle's ancestors, who had been enslaved by Chickasaw Indians and brought to Oklahoma on the tail end of the Trail of Tears-the mass relocation of Native Americans from the South during the 1830s.
