Review by Joe P. review stating Phenominal !!!!!!!!!!!
Another home run for Ken Burns, this documentary is an excellent telling of Jeffersons life and career. I loved the narrations by Ossie Davis,and Sam Watersons voice over as Jefferson is terrific. Well worth the price, this American classic about an American classic will be enjoyed for generations to come. May our Lord bless and guide you.
