Paleo-American: What of the other 196,500 years that negroid Paleo-Americans have been in the Americas? I presume the rewind spool is not large enough to handle a number that big. So....only 500 years? Black American history gets 500-year rewind in PBS series blackreport/archives/2013/10/22/black-american-history-gets-500-year-rewind-in-pbs-series/ [excerpt] The six-part series, The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, which premieres on PBS on Tuesday, opens with Juan Garrido, a free black man who was among the Spanish conquistadors who arrived in Florida in 1513. He is followed by the first known slave, named Esteban, 13 years later. For Henry Louis Gates Jr., the Harvard scholar who conceived and presents the documentary, Garrido and Esteban set the tone for the series. We are showing that there never was one black experience, that even from the beginning there was a free black experience and a slave black experience, said Gates.
