Witness: Black History Month

Tune in this Sunday for a special program from the BBC World Service.

Hear remarkable stories of African American history, told by the people who were there. Selected from "Witness," audiences will hear the story o America's first major-party black candidate for president; meet one of the founding members of the first classical ballet company to focus on black dancers; and Ruby Bridges talks about being escorted to school by U.S. Marshals.

Tune in this Sunday, February 11 at 7 p.m. for "Witness: Black History Month."
