While many consider the birth of the civil rights movement to be1955, when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on an Alabama bus, the stage had been set decades before, by activists of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Some of the NAACP leaders are familiar, including W.E.B. Du Bois and Thurgood Marshall, but Walter White, head of the NAACP from 1929 to 1955, has been all but forgotten. With his blond hair and blue eyes, Walter White looked white; he described himself as "an enigma, a Black man occupying a white body." Like virtually all light-skinned African Americans of his day, White was descended from enslaved Black women and powerful white men. But he was Black - by law, identity, and conviction and spent his entire life fighting for Black civil rights. Forgotten Hero: Walter White and the NAACP traces the life of this neglected civil rights hero and seeks to explain his disappearance from our history. American Experience Forgotten Hero: Walter White and the NAACP at 8:00 pm.

From 1994 until 2011, the military operated under a policy called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," which prohibited openly gay or bisexual people from serving in the armed forces. While that policy was repealed, its legacy reverberates today, depriving some veterans of their full benefits. And though service members may now serve openly as their authentic selves, some fear future legislation or executive orders may negatively impact their service. James Bond, Tammy Smith and Jason Vero, three veterans who served - and are serving - with pride, join host Stacy Pearsall. After Action Serving with Pride at 10:00 pm.

Two-Part Series. Journeys of Black Mathematicians traces the cultural evolution of Black scholars, scientists and educators in the field of mathematics. The films follow the stories of prominent pioneers, illustrating the challenges they faced and how their triumphs are reflected in the experiences of today's mid-career Black mathematicians. Their mathematical descendants, in turn, are contemporary college students and K-12 children across the U.S. who are learning they belong in mathematics and STEM. Featuring more than 50 individuals, the series starts with the first Black Ph.D., Edward Bouchet (Yale, 1876), and W. W. S. Claytor, extraordinary exemplars from the early and mid-20th century who prepared the way for several of the trailblazers highlighted in the series. The role of HBCUs in producing Black mathematicians is a central theme. Sections on Morgan State, Howard University, Spelman College and Morehouse College connect the featured individuals in threads of mentorship stretching back to the 1940s. At every HBCU covered in the program, students stress the role of outstanding teachers who are responsible for advancing the math and science programs at the schools today. The search for ways to bring future generations into the mathematical fold is also an integral theme of the series. Episode One: The episode relates stories of prominent African American mathematicians who struggled through adversity to achieve their goals.Contemporary mid-career Black mathematicians and their students describe the role of historically Black colleges in their success. We are also introduced to a range of innovative programs that help students at every level to imagine a future in math and STEM. Journeys of Black Mathematicians Forging Resilience at 10:00 pm.
