Thanks for that, LovesMacs. Actually, after I posted that message about the DVD, I remembered that my current DVD player can play both Region 1 and Region 2. I hardly ever use the thing these days, which is probably why I had forgotten that.
I'll probably buy the Ken Burns series when I've scraped enough pennies together.
In the meantine, I'm about to start reading
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs, published 1861.
According to Wikipedia, the book was "originally written as a way for Jacobs to get her story told in part to help the abolitionist movement and also to appeal to white affluent middle class women .... The events in the book also help to highlight the impact of the Fugitive Slave Act and its effects on people in the north as well as the south."
