From the episode description:
"A new PBS documentary, Becoming American: Philadelphia's Story, highlights the journey of communities of color in the struggle for freedom, not just from the British Empire, but from the laws and norms that dehumanized, marginalized and persecuted them. Beginning with the arrival of the first ship carrying enslaved Africans, the film looks at Philadelphia as a place where pain, struggle and ultimately social connection led to real change."
