In Episode 8 of “In Pursuit: Philadelphia and the Making of America,” two West Virginia transplants from the Great Migration attack the racial segregation and subjugation at the heart of American urban life. Rumors lead to an uprising of anger and violence in North Philadelphia, what will be called the first urban “riot” of the Civil Rights era. Students demand African history and the consequences of slavery get taught in their high schools, and men and women stage the first protests for gay rights as a backlash builds against revolution.
This 10-part historical documentary, produced by West Mt. Airy’s Sam Katz, explores the complex origins of Philadelphia and the United States, and the enduring tensions around liberty, equality and democracy that continue to shape the nation today.
