Relevé Entertainment, an All3Media America company, is collaborating with Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary’s Revelations Entertainment to develop and produce the docuseries History in Color.

The seven-part series explores the contributions of African American trailblazers, disruptors and unknown heroes who rejected the status quo and changed the course of modern history.

Each episode is directed by a leading African American icon and is their personal exploration of the lives of often-unknown people who blazed the trail for their career. Each episode will focus on a distinct discipline: entertainment, business, science, armed forces, education, sports and faith.
Freeman will direct the premiere episode.
Freeman and McCreary said: “We’ve been producing together for almost 25 years and have hundreds of fascinating subjects for this ongoing series. And it’s well past time that we reveal these trailblazers’ stories to a broader audience!”
Dr. Holly Carter, co-founder of Relevé, commented: “I’m really proud to bring this project to life. This pivotal time in history affords us a unique opportunity to give a platform to African American contributions that have long been overlooked.”
