On the The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow, airing nationally on PBS this Fall:

THE NEW YORK TIMES

"remarkable... this is no dispassionate history lesson. It is an indictment,
a narrative of broken promises and stolen hopes."

"This is public television doing its duty with distinction."
.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow treats with ambition, respect and subtle, but often
searing emotion the shameful American century that followed the Civil War
and Emancipation."

"...a story...so terrible as to make one question one's faith in human nature.
But in the reflective hands of veteran documentarians Bill Jersey and Richard
Wormser, an intellectual tale...a powerful and important historical survey."
.

THE MIAMI HERALD

"The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow is perhaps the best chronicle yet of America's fitful
history of race relations, and true to it's subject it is not a pretty picture...
[The series presents] a bold forthright view of a cruel slice of American history
that continues to haunt us today."
