2 FEBRUARY 2021

Dear Member,

This February, we are honored to commemorate Black History Month with a full month of new specials and programming. We will premiere a new series, The Black Church:

This is Our Story, This is Our Song, from executive producer, host, and writer Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Featuring interviews with Oprah Winfrey, John Legend, and Jennifer Hudson, this moving two-part special examines the role of the Church as the site of African American organizing, resilience, autonomy, freedom, and solidarity. And travel back in time to 1968 with Mr. SOUL! – a vibrant documentary from Independent Lens that chronicles the public television variety show SOUL! that celebrated all facets of Black culture and earned critical praise as one of the first platforms to expand the image of African Americans on television. And explore the fascinating life of Marian Anderson, the celebrated

singer who triumphed at the Lincoln Memorial after being barred from performing at Constitution Hall because she was Black, in American Experience: Voice of Freedom. And don’t miss Gates’s Finding Your Roots: Write My Name in the Book of Life with musician Pharrell Williams and filmmaker Kasi Lemmons who uncover extraordinarily rare first-person accounts of their enslaved ancestors. On wttw.com, look back at Chicago’s groundbreaking first Black mayor, Harold Washington, and meet an important Black author tied to Chicago: Willard Motley, also known as Bud Billiken.

WFMT will feature Black composers and performers throughout the month, including a Sunday edition of With Heart and Voice and archival conversations on Best of Studs Terkel. WFMT’s newest voice, LaRob Payton, will host Music of the Black Church, to preview the following week’s WTTW special, and Cello-Piano Music by Black Composers with youthful artists Itefayo Ali-Landing and Joshua Mhoon. And we’ll present an encore of A Beautiful Symphony of Brotherhood, paying tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On wfmt.com, find a calendar of streaming concerts and events featuring Black musicians and composers, and explore some memorable film scores by Black composers – from Terence Blanchard to Marvin Gaye to Kathryn Bostic.

On behalf of all of us at WTTW and WFMT, thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Sandra Cordova MicekPresident & CEO

Independent Lens: 9to5 – The Story of a MovementWhen Dolly Parton sang “9 to 5,” she was singing the true story of a movement that started with 9to5, a group of Boston secretaries in the early 1970s. Their goals were simple – better pay, more advancement opportunities and an end to sexual harassment – but their unconventional approach attracted the press and shamed their bosses into change. Featuring interviews with 9to5’s founders, as well as actor and activist Jane Fonda, this is the previously untold story of the fight that inspired a hit and changed the American workplace.

THIS IS OUR STORY. THIS IS OUR SONG.THIS IS OUR STORY. THIS IS OUR SONG.

Host, Henry Louis Gates Jr. inside historic Ebenezer Baptist

Church in Atlanta, GA.

4 FEBRUARY 2021

YYou said in The Black Church: This is Our Story, This is Our Song that you have spent your ca-reer exploring stories about Black life, but this was one you never told. What inspired you to tell it now?

HENRY LOUIS GATES: Making this series (to my amazement, it’s my twenty-third film!) has been a dream of mine since I first attended services as a child in Piedmont, West Virginia. When we began production almost two years ago, never did I imagine

that we would be sharing our film with audiences at a time when stories of grace and resilience, struggle and redemption, hope and healing, are so desperately needed, given all that we’ve lost and endured in 2020. In speaking with Oprah for the series, she said of the Black Church, “I don’t know how we could have survived as a people without it.” Her words were powerful then and are even more powerful now. As “we, the people,” contend with a host of pandemics in our society, from COVID-19 to eco-nomic devastation to racial injustice, I believe the history of Black religion in America can be a positive, uplifting force for

A Conversation with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. about The Black Church

all. And that’s before we get to the music in the series, which knocked me out as we record-ed it in the presence of some of the greatest gospel singers of our times, from Shirley Caesar to Jennifer Hudson.

This was a deeply personal story for you. What was it like to share this part of your life?

GATES: You’ll see we end the series with a personal pil-grimage to the church where I professed my faith as a child in West Virginia. Heightening the moment was the fact that we invited members of the faith community there to a reunion of sorts. There I was telling them the story of my profession so many years ago – of the moment when I publicly accepted Christ as my savior – after making a vow to God that I would take that profound step if He somehow let my mother survive a health scare that nearly took her from me at that time. It was, therefore, an epiphany within an epiphany, and I found it quite moving to make that return trip to my hometown. Yes, this is a deeply personal series for me, and my only sadness is that my parents aren’t here to watch this one with me. Perhaps they’d be as surprised as I am that au-diences will actually hear me singing on film.

When you researched this topic for your film, what surprised you the most?

GATES: There were a number of surprising revelations, but I think for me the most

astonishing came in filming for the first hour, when I learned that scholars today estimate that between eight and twenty percent of Africans dragged to North America on slave ships during the terrible years of the trans-Atlantic trade were practicing Muslims. Not only that, but the King of Kongo on the continent had converted to Roman Catholicism in the year 1491, which was even be-fore Columbus set foot in our hemisphere. For so long, his-torians of earlier generations had fiercely debated whether

slavery had represented such a traumatic dislocation that African Americans had re-tained anything from their ex-istence in Africa. Now we know that they not only brought their faith practices with them, but that those practices included the major religions that had already arrived in Africa cen-turies before.

What do you want viewers to take away from The Black Church: This is Our Story, This is Our Song?

GATES: There are a dazzling number of takeaways, but I think the most essential are that the Black Church was the first institution built by Black

people and run independent of white society in America. Indeed, there were congre-gations like the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia, that were seeded before the Declaration of Independence was drafted. It’s remarkable. We also want viewers to come away under-stand that the Black Church is not a monolith. Instead, Black Christianity has a rich, complex, and nuanced history, with common roots but many branches. Also, for centuries, Black churches have been

the heartbeat of the African American experience as houses of worship; places for community support, political organizing and social justice; sanctuaries for the suffering and the marginalized; and, not least, engines for transcendent cultural gifts exported to the world—from the soulful voices of preachers and congregants to the sublime sounds of gos-pel music. For the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., going to church in America was also “the most segregated hour” of the week, and we explore that reality in our society as well. Overall, our mission is to explore the 400-year story of the Black Church and how it came to be such a profound

and important site of African American survival and en-durance, grace and resilience, thriving and testifying, free-dom and independence, sol-idarity and boldly speaking truth to power.

You mentioned that the Black Church is at a cross-roads today. In your opinion, how will it continue to move forward in these turbulent times?

GATES: I have no doubt that it will. Black Churches are interwoven with community life across this great country, and in a year that has brought so much suffering and reck-oning to our fellow citizens, I am confident that the Black Church will remain a founda-tional site for truth, healing, and redemption. It’s far from perfect, as we show. No human institution is. But as a force for nurturance and hope, sanc-tuary and uplift, truth and justice, it is one of the most important and enduring any-where. And as we work our way out of the pain we see in so many corners right now, Black Church leaders and congregations will continue to be on the front lines, as our ancestors were before us.
