An important story to tell about one of the most important Americans of the 19th century. Cicely Tyson portrayal was excellent. Her response to the suggestion that blacks return to Africa was one of the classic speeches of American movie history. The screenplay and supporting cast were also quite good. While I am a fan of Orson Welles, his narration was an unneeded distraction most of the time. Only three or four narrations would have let the action tell the story without his excessive "waxing eloquence" that seemed alien to the setting. Considering the quality of this TV production, it is surprising that the movie and Ms. Tyson were not at least recognized with a nomination for an Emmy award.
