While History’s three-part Abraham Lincoln biographical documentary continues (8/7c, concluding Tuesday), producer/narrator Kareem Abdul-Jabbar provides another angle on the Civil War with a special that celebrates famous and lesser-known Black figures who played critical roles in the War Between the States. Abolitionist Frederick Douglass and the Underground Railroad’s Harriet Tubman have long been revered, but Black Patriots also reveals the stories of slave-turned-war hero Robert Smalls, Union spy Mary Richards and others.
