Sam2 “Journey” Documentary Special

An amazing piece of American history will come to light for the first time when Black History Month arrives in February, 2015. That’s when local TV stations nationwide will have the opportunity to present “The Journey – 450 Years of the African-American Experience”, a fascinating new documentary special. Produced by Mummycat Productions and Sam2, a division of Stephen Arnold Music, “Journey” reveals the never-before-told true story about the role that free blacks played in the founding of St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in the United States. Interviews with experts and vivid imagery combine in “Journey” to explain how the first African Americans reached the new world long before the founding of Jamestown – not as slaves but as free men.
