Self-Promoting FUN!!!!
My husband is a television producer and recently executive produced a fantastic documentary called "Meeting David Wilson" about an African-American man who searches his history and traces his roots back to the plantation where his family was once enslaved. The story chronicles his journey and the emotional reunion with the family who once enslaved his. A touching piece of self-discovery and history....and yes, did I mention my husband helped to make it? Yes, I am proud, sorry for the self involved newsletter....
Anyway, the story airs this FRIDAY, April 11th at 9pm on MSNBC. See below for the "official" version of the story or visit www.meetingdavidwilson.com.
MSNBC to air world premier of "Meeting David Wilson", Friday, April 11 at 9pm "Today" Correspondent Tiki Barber To Host Documentary
90-Minute Live Conversation About Race Moderated by NBC News' Brian Williams To Air Immediately Following
Entire Event To Stream Live On MSNBC.COM
Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., MSNBC will premiere "Meeting David Wilson," the remarkable and inspiring story of a young man's reconciliation with his ancestors' history as slaves. "Just days after the 40th anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, it is fitting that we air this special presentation," said Steve Capus, President, NBC News. "With this documentary, and the conversation that will take place immediately following, our hope is to open the dialogue, encourage better understanding of the issues, and, hopefully, shine new light on the current state of race relations in our country today."
"Meeting David Wilson"
Meet David Wilson: David Wilson is a 28-year-old African-American man from Newark, New Jersey. He grew up in a tough, urban neighborhood, but managed to navigate his way out of poverty and into the world of news production in New York City. Now, meet David Wilson: David Wilson is a 62-year-old white man from rural North Carolina. He grew up in Caswell County, where his ancestors once farmed tobacco. He now operates a small chain of BBQ restaurants in nearby Reidsville, where he lives with his wife and son.
Although they have never met, the two men share more than just a name - one David's ancestors were once enslaved by the other's forebears in the antebellum South. In "Meeting David Wilson," the two men come face-to-face to confront their storied past. The 90-minute documentary records the unusual "family reunion" as the New Jersey Wilson family travels back to the North Carolina plantations to meet the white Wilsons; meeting on the very same plantation where lives were sacrificed and where racial equality was once unthinkable.
Will their worlds collide? How will they deal with the gravity of their family's histories and issues like reparations? Scenes of North Carolina and New Jersey - with past and present-day realities of black Americans - pepper the film and raise questions about how the black community has fared since its migration to the north. "Meeting David Wilson" provides compelling perspective on the legacy of slavery in America by chronicling the personal stories of these two men and their momentous encounter.
"What you have in the two of us is the story of two races and two generations honestly talking about the dark cloud of slavery and its continuing impact on our families and our lives even today,' said director David Wilson. "We intend to ignite a candid and unprecedented conversation about race."
MSNBC Live Event
NBC News will air a live discussion immediately following "Meeting David Wilson," at 10:30 p.m. ET on MSNBC. The live discussion, which will be broadcast from Howard University's Washington, D.C. campus and stream live on msnbc.com, will focus on racial themes in America. "NBC Nightly News" Anchor and Managing Editor Brian Williams will moderate the event. Williams will be joined by "Today" Correspondent Tiki Barber.
