Matt Roush says...
Over four hours and two nights (concluding Tuesday), Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (Finding Your Roots) presents a history of the Black gospel tradition, blending traditional spirituals with the blues for a new, joyous and deeply sacred genre of music that provided a soundtrack for the civil-rights era and beyond. Interviews include Dionne Warwick, U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, Rev. Otis Moss and Professor Michael Eric Dyson, and there’s also plenty of rousing music, provided by the likes of The Belle Sisters, Cory Henry and Celisse.
