On This Week's Edition of Social Justice Television we'll be featuring videos exploring Human Slavery's Past.
The video is an Interview and Tour with Second Generation Storyteller, Delbert Richardson who created a powerful, moving and educational exhibit entitled 'The American History Exhibit: Unspoken Truths". The Exhibit travels from location to location and tells the story of African Americans as they journeyed from Mother Africa through Slavery in the United States, Jim Crow and ending in Still We Rise which features African American Inventors and achievements.
