The World at War
This documentary covers World War II from the German invasion of Poland to the war in the Pacific. Using eyewitness accounts and archival footage, this British documentary series narrates the various facets of World War II. As a 26 episode documentary series it is long, but you learn so much from this series. Precision, strategy, timing, power of propaganda, and race are among the themes that are highlighted in the series. I highly recommend viewing the episode titled, Genocide. It details the persecution of the Jews which is incredibly similar to the treatment of black people.

Eyes on the Prize
Eyes on the Prize highlights the Civil Rights Movement or Second Reconstruction from Martin Luther King Jr. to the Black Panther Party. Again, as with the World at War documentary, eyewitness accounts and archival footage was used for this series. This 14 episode documentary series has a study guide available for autodidacts or homeschoolers.

African Diaspora
Cecile Emeke's web series and documentaries discuss being black in Britain and France. Listening to these other black people helps me realize that these things are happening in other parts of the world as it does here.
