Description: 1830s: Turner's slave rebellion -- 1830s: Amanuensis Thomas R. Gray -- 1850-60s: Novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe, abolitionist William Wells Brown -- 1930s: WPA ex-slave oral history -- 1960s: Novelist William Styron -- 1960s: Ten Black writers respond -- Present: Documentary film as interpretation.
Evaluates the authenticity of the earliest source, "The Confessions of Nat Turner", assembled by a white Virginia lawyer from jailhouse interviews. It then follows the controversy over the Nat Turner story played out through history. Alvin Poussaint and Ossie Davis recall how Nat Turner became a hero in the Black community. Religious scholar Vincent Harding and legal scholar Martha Minow reflect on America's attitudes toward terrorism. One of the most bitter race battles of the 1960s is reexamined, when William Styron published his novel, The Confessions of Nat Turner.
