    Black history in a nutshell

    The interaction between Kevin and 'his' daughter felt stiff, but the overall reenactment and pace of the story was interesting and informative. There are going to be lots of negative or 1 star reviews because you know, America, but do not mind that. If you like history and reeanctment in an short comedy-style, you should watch this!

    I am from Europe and knew most of the people mentioned, but now I know other not so well-known people. Yes, I did learn today!

    It's not about Black History, it's about African-American History...

    The show and most of anything (that is made by Americans) that is titled 'Black History' seems to forget that the US wasn't the only country to have black people. The show doesn't mention anything about non-American black people which is amazing. To add (and I'm black), the show skips over making the point that violence (or unfounded hate) against white people today is wrong. Love Kevin Hart, but the writings kinda trash as well.

    Fun and light hearted look at important American history

    First off, anyone who uses the word "agenda" in any kind of negative connotation in their review of this literally needs some serious therapy. With how light hearted and fun yet important look at black Americans contributions to our country, the only "agenda" is to tell an under appreciated part of American history. It's downright scary to think there are some Americans who choose to be so negative and ignorant, a sign of the political times that threatens to set back human rights and progress.

    Regardless, this is well done and fun, I enjoyed the use of campy humor to lighten the mood to learn some important lessons of how we ALL are EQUALLY important contributions to humanity and in making our country great.

    INFORMATIVE THINGS NARRATED IN A FUNNY WAY

    I really liked the concept behind this T.V movie.To talk about some important black personalities,they created a father-son story which is funny,entertain,and also informative and to be proud of.Its a good watch.

    Clearly a fan of "Drunk History"

    Enjoyed it, very cute. The only thing is all the stories you've never heard of were covered on Drunk History. I kept seeing several people and stories I'd long seen before on Drunk History.

    Now this is family friendly so the retread makes sense. I think there is room for both.

    Very cute, very enjoyable, and teaches kids and adults about not putting past events on current people who are nice.
