Ken Burns’ “Franklin” documentary begins tonight on PBS. Anyone, besides me, going to watch it?

As it turns out, I can watch on the internet here on the boat. So Yes. I will be watching too.

So far, somewhat disappointed as the documentary attempts to point out that BF was a slave holder as much as possible.
No opportunity to inject “supremacy theory” was rejected.
At one point, the narrator intoned, “Franklin owned other human beings”.

So, we are led to believe that BF was not a savant (common sense genius) but just some cracker that used his white privilege to get ahead on the backs of people of color.
