Repeat

History doesn’t repeat its self only people do. Until accurate history is taught they will.

A must read.

Rachel Maddow and the team researched and put together a compelling story about the horrors of prejudice hi in our own country. It makes me want to know more about this topic (will read Peter Iron’s book too) and about our present day. Need to not repeat this horrific history. We can always do better.

What stood out the most was the blatant denials of the officials involved.

Rachel's ending summary of the storyline in episode 6 is behond excellent. She is a national treasure of the Ken Burns level.

Outstanding! fascinating, thorough, disturbing

Fantastic! No one does it better than Rachel. Research and presentation are always top notch. Uncovering (digging deep) and clearly explaining this shameful period in our history. Congratulations on a another exceptional production!
