Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Narrating HISTORY Channel Protest Doc

The HISTORY Channel is set to debut next month the new one-hour documentary Fight the Power: The Movements That Changed America, executive produced and narrated by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Deborah Morales of Iconomy Multi-Media & Entertainment.

Fight the Power: The Movements That Changed America examines the history of protest that shaped the course for justice in the country. It is slated to premiere on The HISTORY Channel on June 19, a date also known as Juneteenth, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the U.S.

Fight the Power: The Movements That Changed America looks at the impact key movements throughout U.S. history have had in shaping our society, laws and culture. It explores the labor movement of the 1880s, women’s suffrage and civil rights, the LGBTQ+ and Black Lives Matter movements and how protest is in the American DNA.

Fight the Power: The Movements That Changed America is produced for The HISTORY Channel by the Six West MediaTM group.

Abdul-Jabbar said: “One of this country’s greatest strengths is its willingness to listen to the voices of its people—whether at the ballot box or in the streets—and make changes to bring about a more equitable society.”
