A+E’s History is slating
Fight the Power: The Movements That Changed America, to air June 19, or Juneteenth, the date commemorating the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States.
Executive produced and narrated by NBA legend and social justice advocate Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (pictured), and Deborah Morales of Iconomy Multi-Media & Entertainment, the one-hour doc looks at the impact key movements throughout U.S. history have had in shaping the country’s society, laws and culture.
The project is anchored by sit-down interviews and narratives from Abdul-Jabbar’s personal experiences, coupled with anecdotes from noteworthy historians and authors, and supported with archival imagery and current footage.
