    99 Years: Episode 1

    The slogan for the state of Maine is, “the way life should be.” Known for lobsters and lighthouses, the state is also known for something else. Maine is the whitest state. And that’s not an accident. The reason involves Presidents and robber barons, a forgotten time of Black American progress and a nation-wide conspiracy to help the south rise again. But this isn’t just a chronicle of racial struggle or a tale of lost histories. It’s a story about black experience and what happens when people try to account for the past.
