PBS Announces Documentary Series with Henry Louis Gates Jr.


Public television network PBS has unveiled the trailer for a documentary series focusing on the great civilizations of pre-colonial Africa. The project reunites the network with Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who had previously hosted a series of PBS specials focusing on race and history, including African American Lives, Faces of America, and 2012’s Finding Your Roots. The latest series, Africa’s Great Civilizations, will follow Gates as he chronicles the history of several kingdoms and empires that flourished across Africa long before European explorers first contacted the continent. The three-part, six-hour series is scheduled to air for three nights, Monday Feb 27 through Wednesday Mar 1 on PBS. Take a look at the trailer for the series below:
