THE HISTORY OF US
"Sixteen-part series, based on the award winning books by Joy Hakim. Freedom is what has drawn to America countless human beings from around the world; it is what generations of men and women have lived and died for; it is, in a profound sense, our nation's highest calling. This is also the story of the chief obstacles to American freedom -- the "unfreedoms" that have littered our national story, and in some cases have called its very integrity into question. This is a history of the United States as the unfolding, inspiring story of human liberties aspired to and won."
