  • I’ll ask my wife, because she’s been consuming a lot of racism lately. (Lots of civil war era books, with a strong focus on the injustices against black people.)

    Off the top of my head there’s of course, Roots.

    We also watched the Free State of Jones. It’s based on a true story that puts you in the shoes of a Rebel soldier who goes AWOL, and befriends a group of runaway slaves.

    Since you know your friend better than any of us, you might want to watch any suggestions alone, and possibly even search online for an in depth analysis of it before presenting it to your friend. That way you can be prepared to intelligently discuss any topics that might come up.

    EDIT: My wife reminded me of American History X, which is more anti KKK than pro-black, but it’s also much more modern and VERY graphic.

    Good luck!
