TV One presents the emotion-packed documentary Stand . Written, directed and produced by Tavis Smiley, this special stars Smiley’s so-called “Soul Patrol”--Dr. Cornel West, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Dick Gregory, Dr. Eddie Glaude, Cliff West, Wren Brown, Raymond Ross and BeBe Winans in ways you’ve never seen before.
Shot during the summer of 2008, Tavis Smiley and his Soul Patrol travel across the South and through Memphis on a bus, visiting key African-American landmarks while having in-depth and heartfelt discussions about the journey of Black Americans. Smiley and his friends make pit stops to pick up friends who share stories about the music, food and jokes that have contributed along the way. From the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to the historic election of America’s first African-American President, Barack Obama—no subject is left untouched.
You never know where the bus will stop next and what little known story will
be shared. Take a stand and don’t miss Tavis Smiley’s Stand, only
on TV One.
