American PromiseMon., Feb. 3, 10 pm

Joe Brewster and Michele Stephenson, middle-class African-American parents in Brooklyn, N.Y., turn their cameras on their son, Idris, and his best friend, Seun, who make their way through one of the most prestigious private schools in the country. It's a 13-year chronicle of the boys' divergent paths from kindergarten through high school graduation at Manhattan's Dalton School.

American Masters: Alice Walker, Beauty in TruthFri., Feb. 7, 10 pm

Most famous for her seminal novel, The Color Purple, writer/activist Alice Walker celebrates her 70th birthday. The first African-American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Walker continues to shine a light on global human rights issues. Her dramatic life is told with poetry and lyricism, and includes interviews with Steven Spielberg, Danny Glover, Quincy Jones, Howard Zinn, Gloria Steinem, Sapphire and Walker herself.

Meet Mary PleasantTue., Feb. 11, 10 pm

Meet Mary Pleasant, the 19th-century African-American woman born a slave who became an international abolitionist, a prosperous entrepreneur and a civil-rights activist who helped alter modern-day civil rights law. Now called the Mother of Civil Rights in California, Pleasant was that and much more than an activist. Winner of Best of Festival (Peace Medallion) Award for Best Documentary – Berkeley Video & Film Festival and Best Historical Documentary – New York International Independent Film and Video Festival in L.A.

Underground Railroad: The William Still StoryMon., Feb. 17, 9 pm

This program tells the story of William Still, one of the most important yet unheralded individuals of the Underground Railroad. The film details the accounts of black abolitionists, who had everything at stake as they helped fugitives follow the North Star to Canada.

MSU's Project 60/50 is a yearlong community conversation on civil and human rights. The "60" represents 60 years since the Brown v. Board of Education ruling and the "50" represents 50 years since the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, making major forms of discrimination unlawful.

To commemorate these important landmark events, support MSU's Project 60/50 and celebrate Black History Month, WKAR has several special program

offerings this month.
