meeting david wilson

I just watched a discussion about race on MSNBC. It was interesting. Here is a part of it. Unlike many such attempts this one has some sparks in it, and it's worth watching.

The discussion starts off around a documentary called Meeting David Wilson. The films tells the story of two David Wilsons, one black and one white.

The two David Wilsons are connected through history: during slavery the family of the white David Wilson owned the family of black David Wilson. The movie came about because black present day David Wilson is a film maker, and he tracked down the white David Wilson in North Carolina.
