“How long is the Mississippi River? How many counties does it run through? How many bubbles in a bar of soap? Don’t know that answers? Sorry, you can’t vote in 1964 Mississippi. Especially if you’re African American.
From executive Producer David L Wolper (Roots) comes a powerful tale of one of the touchstone events of the Civil Rights era: the murder of three voting rights activists. The story focuses on two of the young men: James Chaney (Blair Underwood) and Mickey Schwermer (Tom Hulce), who learn to put aside their differences to make a difference. Bigotry and injustice are the targets of their activism. But the men in turn become targets of those who would rather kill than change. History must not forget ‘Murder in Mississippi.'”

“The Roots Saga Continues
There are two sides to every story, the saying goes. For Alex Haley, one side was Roots, the towering chronicle tracing seven generations of his mother’s family. The other side comes to the screen in ‘Alex Haley’s Queen,’ the remarkable history of the paternal side of the author’s family.
Oscar and Emmy winner Halle Berry plays Queen, daughter of a slave (Jasmine Guy) and a plantation owner (Tim Daly). During the years of the antebellum South, the Civil War, Reconstruction and beyond, she searches for a home in the two cultures of her heritage – and at times is shunned by both. But rejection and hate are no match for her unconquerable will. Ann-Margret, Danny Glover and Ossie Davis also star in this poignant, uplifting final chapter of the Haley legacy.”
