... and then it was postponed until tomorrow night! Sorry everyone, over a commercial break they decided to push the SC segment to tomorrow night at 10 p.m. ET and then they will air an hour-long special on Saturday and Sunday. We made popcorn and everything ... LOL ---toni

Cutting room floor - I said in the interview that slavery was brutal and oppressive but families and communities emerged strong and solid and the comment they left in was that slavery was unpleasant. What ya gonna do with the media? Ay Yay Yay ---toni
