- Additional information
This 1968 documentary is an examination of slavery and of the attitudes established during slavery that still persisted a century after its abolition. At the height of the Civil Rights Movement and during a period of growing white backlash represented by third-party presidential candidate George Wallace, CBS News reporter George Foster interviewed black activists and descendants of plantation owners. "The Heritage of Slavery" demonstrated the parallels between attitudes that existed under slavery and those that still existed in the 1960s – attitudes that, in some places, may linger on today.
