i just finished watching the 90 mins documentary - very moving docu. The white guy David B Wilson, was really nice and answered most of the the black David A. Wilson questions. They were very civil towards each other, and spoke their minds. No high emotions.
Now they have on the panel discussion now (10.30 EST) I am eager to see whats discussed - Michael Eric Dyson on the panel, now that i cant miss. He is interesting to hear speak. Here we go with his poetry like speech.
(By the way B Wilson traced his ancestors and found out they were Ashantis - the scene at Cape Coast castle was quite emotional as well expected)
