Bounce TV, the nation’s first broadcast network for African-Americans, is celebrating Black History Month in February by showing some of what it calls “the greatest African-American stories, motion pictures and performances of all-time.”
This Sunday night, February 15 at 9p.m., Bounce TV will air Sounder, the 1972 movie starring Cicely Tyson and Paul Winfield.
Adapted from the Newberry Award winning novel, Sounder is the story of black sharecroppers fighting to get their children a decent education during the Depression. Sounder was nominated for 4 Academy Award nominations.
Immediately following Sounder on Bounce TV at 11 is The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, the award-winning TV movie which originally aired on CBS in 1974.
Cicely Tyson stars as a woman whose life begins in slavery and follows her as she joins the Civil Rights Movement in 1962 at the age of 110.
(Since this movie was not released in theaters, I could not find a trailer for it. However, I did find this documentary about the making of the movie).
