    Not that great... The presenter is constantly lost and seems bewildered at times. Much of the information is already widely known and more details should be given.

    This lecture series helps us to understand our past. And a past not that long ago either. It is done factually and with photos and other written resources from that time, that shows, how those in the south still thought. They felt as a society they needed "redemption" from what the civil war imposed on them. This, lynchings and horrible things happened to blacks. It tells of man's inhumanity to man. We need to learn from our past so we don't repeat it . Great professor, great class

    Amazing lecture! Very professional, thank you. I am a student at Lonestar College currently taking a class on American History. I value History and respect those who are passionate about sharing it and this couldn't be a better way of getting it.
