NBC Prepping Miniseries On Slavery Scored By Stevie Wonder
Based on Betty DeRamus’ book Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories From the Underground Railroad, the miniseries is being planned for eight hours. It tells the story of the underground railroad through a collection of love stories (many of them fact-based) about men and women, slave and free, black and white, fighting or trying to escape slavery. B. Swibel, Adam Westbrook and Charles Randolph-Wright are writing and will serve as executive producers. Tara Smith and Brian LaRoda will also executive produce.
“These unforgettable moments in history, which have never been told on television before, are both incredibly painful and heartwarming and need to be presented to the world,” added NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke. “We’re honored to be adapting this emotionally affecting book in a television event.”

I want all the White people who are ok with slavery to watch this and then explain why slavery is ok. And while not allow themselves to be enslaved and see how they like it.This miniseries could not come at a more opportune time. This country has forgotten it’s history when it is about those of African ancestry. The GOP are trying to whitewash this, but it’s not possible
