 inutes) \nA production of TPT National Productions in association with Two
  Dollars & A Dream\, Inc. Produced and directed by Sam Pollard. Executive 
 Producer Catherine Allan. Co-Executive Producer Douglas A. Blackmon. Writt
 en by Sheila Curran Bernard. Edited by Jason Pollard. Narrated by Laurence
  Fishburne. Original Score by Michael Bacon. \nIt was a shocking reality t
 hat often went unacknowledged\, then and now: a huge system of forced\, un
 paid labor\, mostly affecting Southern black men\, that lasted until World
  War II. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Douglas Blackmon\, Sl
 avery by Another Name tells the stories of men\, charged with crimes like 
 vagrancy\, and often guilty of nothing\, who were bought and sold\, abused
 \, and subjected to sometimes deadly working conditions as unpaid convict 
 labor. Interviews with the descendants of victims and perpetrators resonat
 e with a modern audience. Christina Comer\, who discovered how her family 
 profited from the system\, says that "the story is important no matter how
  painful the reality is." \n\n\nLocation: Black History Museum\, 902 Wythe
