Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this DVD to add to my collection and I originally thought it would be just another overview of the issues and problems associated with slavery in the US. However, this was a very good teaching video. The segments are in such a way that you can show in parts or all together. The segements that have actors acting out the parts go very well with the voice over. You could also mute the sound and decribe the sections for greater teaching. It covers not only Slavery in America but the islands and how they impacted the slave trade. This is a great collection to enhance ones library or to introduce the history of slavery to those who lack the understanding of how it all happened. It is great for teaching in the classroom and individual knowledge. Not a great subject but a great overview for those who lack the knowledge of this aweful past.
