This is the first in a series of five episodes regarding specific moments of divergence in African American history; moments were two distinct choices were offered.  This episode focuses on Christianity, which was forcibly introduced in order to justify slavery (curse of ham, plantation bible etc) but was instead used to spread the liberation philosophy that was co-opted by men like Nat Turner and Denmark Vessey.  The episode goes further to identify the role that the Black church has played through key moments of African American history, including the modern day Civil Rights Movement of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
