Henry Louis Gates, Jr., is the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and the Director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research at Harvard University.
Watch Gates, one of the foremost academic authorities on African American history, discuss one of the twentieth century's most jarring literary events: the publication of William Styron's novel, The Confessions of Nat Turner, at the height of the civil rights movement.
The Confessions of Nat Turner is a gripping portrait of the leader of America's bloodiest slave revolt. It is a galvanizing portrayal of the crushing institution of slavery.
See Gates speak about his first encounters with the novel and with the man who wrote it.
