- 1989 ----- color ----- 49 min ----- vhs
- (Produced by the BBC) Between the 16th and 19th centuries, some ten million Africans were kidnapped and transported as slaves to America. Now archaeologists are digging up American slave sites for the first time, unearthing the realities of slave life and discovering the contributions of enslaved Africans to American society. Provides many fascinating ans surprising details at excavations of 18th-century slave quarters of Middleburg Plantation near Charleston; at Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson; and at Colonial Williamsburg, which until recently neglected to show the lives of the slaves who made up over half of the town's population and where a slave quarter is now being accurately reconstructed.
