Film Appearances
From the October 3, 2022 article in Rutgers Today:
PBS audiences will get a rare glimpse into the ordinary lives of extraordinary abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass in a pair of new documentaries featuring two Rutgers-New Brunswick historians.
Charles and Mary Beard Distinguished professor of history Erica Armstrong Dunbar, who studies and teaches African American, United States and women’s and gender history, and Marisa Fuentes, Presidential Term Chair in African American history, were tapped by the filmmakers to provide little known anecdotes and everyday details about these larger-than-life figures in Harriet Tubman: Visions of Freedom and Becoming Frederick Douglass, which premier at 10 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4 and Oct. 11, respectively, on local PBS stations.
Excerpts from PBS’s Harriet Tubman: Visions of Freedom with interview excerpts from Marisa J. Fuentes:

This 50-minute film has been produced to coincide with the Slavery in the Age of Revolution exhibition and to serve as a discussion tool for the associated teachers’ project. The film narrates the story of the transatlantic slave trade through interviews with the exhibition’s co-curators alongside some of the exhibits. [Click to watch video on Vimeo.com]
