ONE YEAR LATER A signature project within Racism Unveiled, One Year Later explored what has – and has not – changed since the murder of George Floyd. Throughout the anniversary week, TPT aired 31 broadcast programs, including a new, commissioned film; shared dozens of original videos and articles, including a collection of student-created videos; and held a virtual public event. The programs explored the history and impact of systemic racism, and shared stories of strength and hope in our collective future.

“I really like that they chose to focus on healing and wellness rather than recycling all the heavy emotions and going over the facts of the civil rights violations that we all just witnessed.” – One Year Later Event Attendee

SLAVERY BY ANOTHER NAME TPT reissued its groundbreaking film, Slavery by Another Name (2012), for rebroadcast by PBS stations nationwide around the Juneteenth holiday. The documentary illuminated the neo-slavery that extended through many parts of the U.S. South between Reconstruction and World War II.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE TPT’s weekly public affairs broadcast, Almanac , explored how communities across the state are confronting racism through interviews with elected and community leaders; special episodes on the Derek Chauvin trial and Daunte Wright’s killing; and deep dives into policies around policing.

STEMMING THE DIVIDE SciGirls , TPT’s multimedia national STEM initiative, renewed its commitment to highlight Black voices in its content, increase Black talent “behind the camera,” and expand its educator training around anti- racist teaching practices.
