SOME OF AMERICA'S PAST.

There’s no question that America continues to struggle with race, whether one views it through the country’s horrific past or it's complicated present. That’s something that Jussie Smollett found out first hand when he tackled the topic for the docuseries America Divided, which returns to EPIX with a second season of celebrity correspondents exploring inequality throughout the United States. “To see how far we’ve come and not come as a country is crazy and mind-boggling,” the Empire star tells ET about his work on the project. Smollett’s episode, “Whose History?,” airing May 25, finds the multi talented performer traveling to Tennessee to witness the growing movement to remove Confederate monuments and explore the deaths of thousands of African Americans who were lynched during decades of racial terror. The project, which was brought to Smollett’s attention by fellow actor Alfre Woodard, hit close to home.You might try to check this out when it comes out. Sounds interesting to say the least.
