AMERICAN MASTERS “The Disappearance of Miss Scott”
Premieres: Friday, Feb. 21, 9p
This feature documentary will spotlight Hazel Scott, the most famous jazz virtuoso of her time and the first African American to have her own television show. A champion for racial equality before what we now consider to be the civil rights movement, Scott’s bright star dimmed when she was caught up in the Red Scare of the 1950s and refused to back down, testifying in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee to defend herself and her colleagues, and was blacklisted as a result.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE  “Forgotten Hero: Walter White and the NAACP”
Premieres: Tue, Feb. 25, 9p
Meet Walter White, the NAACP’s longtime leader and one of the most influential but least known figures in civil rights history. Under his leadership, the NAACP paved the way for Black power at the ballot box and scored important legal victories.
