Description

The American Heartbeat marks the opening of Season 5 of Black Is America. One hundred years after Negro History Week was established to safeguard Black history, this film serves as a reminder that the story was never separate to begin with. Black history is not an appendix to America's narrative — it is woven through its foundation. From labor and culture to service, faith, innovation, and memory, The American Throughline asserts what has always been true: to erase Black history is to leave the American story incomplete. This film follows a long tradition of griots — storytellers who understood that memory is survival, and that as long as someone continues to tell the story, the history endures. This is not explanation. It is assertion.
