The Book of Negroes
The six-part BET mini-series follows the life of Aminata Diallo, a young African girl kidnapped by slave traders and brought across the Atlantic to North America. In the course of her long and hard life, Aminata is a witness to major events in the slave trade and the history of Black North Americans.
Over seven chapters, the app provides a timeline of Black history from 1705 to the present day. In addition, it explores the historical grounding of both the novel and series in the original Book of Negroes historical document, which identified Black slaves who fought for the British during the American Revolution.
Using images, videos, and interactive maps, the guide follows the far-reaching impact of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. For educational settings, the guide features optional discussion questions and further investigation of the various topics. An intuitive interface allows users to swipe, tap, and scroll through chapters to engage with interactive features in a linear or nonlinear fashion, and gain a deeper understanding of the historical events portrayed in The Book of Negroes.

Don't waste your time downloading this one it's very misleading
Good for Audio, visual, and touchy feely learners.
This is one of those movies,that all should want to watch,if for nothing more than its elaborate presentation it speaks to the heart of a nation in desperate need for dialog on the human agenda that makes us all breathe with simplicity.......BREATHE IN,NOW BREATHE OUT,NO. DOUBT; WE ALL EXIST. ......
I Love This One.
Wonderfully told African History
very informative
This was a great mini series!
The series was awesome...can't wait to read the app
The Book Of Negroes, I love all of the info about Negroes history,but the app would be better if it was in videos or video of the movie
Tellls us about the history we as a people and our struggles and how we got over
When are you people going to ever wake up? You are not African at all...you are still following your Masters lies which makes you still a slave. You have the old testament and you still don't know who you are...that's a Damnnn shame :( Biblical scholars says that Ham was the father of the dark races (Africans), but not the Negros. He is the fathers of the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Liberians, and the Canaanites (all Africans), but not the Negros...which means the Negros are not African idiots!!!
Not the movie at all. I didn't want to read a book.
I wish that this would play on regular TV channels. I love it
