I liked how they buried the story about them getting to the moon. The headline was written as if it were on the front page banner section, but it was down at the bottom inside the paper near the ads.

Sounds good! I look forward to checking it out.
I hope there's a dig at "historian" Doris Kearns Goodwin, who -- no matter what the topic -- somehow gets her face plastered all over every Burns documentary.

That was truly inspired (and inspiring--a definite addition to my Black History Month curriculum!)

Back when negroes had to post on freedblackrepublic.com? "The Man" at Google would just have a blackout of the site so no one would be able to find it.

It was quite funny and done by black americans, it was submitted for and recieved some awards. Its a spoof, of Ken Burns, the photography, the stills, the obtuse experts, the music. Brilliant.the music/mannerisms/"personal letters"/"experts"..ARE PRICELESS! ...wait till "Cartman & the Gang" hears about this. (South Park :^)

I think it's a parody of Ward Churhill, a a full-o-sh_t-white guy, posing as ethnic, blathering so my much BS.
LOL ! ! This is just toooo funny.

Its a spoof, of Ken Burns, the photography, the stills, the obtuse experts, the music. And maybe no less truthful than the real Ken Burns documentaries. :D

As Dr. Fingeroot might say, "Very amusing, or 'humorous', if you will."
Thanks for posting!
