Slavery’s Buried Past
PBS special "S lavery’ s Buried
Past” from The New Explorers with
B ill Kurtis—includes narratives from
the book series entitled: I Was A
Slave and the author who provides
Research and Dialects.
Donna Wyant Howell o f Wash
ington, DC, compiler o f the series o f
books entitled I Was A Slave, has
cameo audio roles w ithin the upcom
ing PBS Special "Slavery’ s Buried
Past” prem iering nationw ide on
Wednesday, December 18. 1996 at
8:00 p.m. (check local listings). The
program is hosted by B ill Kurtis o f
K urtis Productions, Ltd. as part o f
the Peabody Award-winning series
named “ The New Explorers” .
The program examines the dis
covery o f a slave graveyard that con
tained 427 bodies in New York City
and the subsequent findings. It in
cludes information about other exca
vations that have unearthed articles
used by slaves, such as drilled spoon
handles (to attract good spirits) and a
charm in the image o f a fist.
In keeping with the theme o f pro
viding additional pieces to the un-
derstandingof African American his-
tory, the show’s producers have in
cluded segments from the first four
books o f the I Was A {slave book
collection. These books are written
entirely in the words o f the former
slaves, thousands o f whom dictated
their full life stories in the 1930's. In
addition to doing research for narra
tives for program, Donna also does
voiceovers w ithin the program and
speaks in dialect, using the actual
words o f several former slaves. The
program also includes some o f the
photographs o f the ex-slaves who
tell their life stories in the books.
