Rock of changes : race, faith, and freedom on Nantucket / [a presentation of] WGBH Boston ; a production of Heeltapper Films for the Museum of Afro American History ; produced and directed by Harlan Reiniger.

"Explores the history of Nantucket in the nineteenth century when it was an international capital of whaling, an industry that rewarded talented men--of any color. The island also attracted many fugitive slaves for its seafaring job opportunities and abolition-friendly population of Quakers. But tolerance ended at the schoolroom. In a landmark battle, Nantucket was forced to end school segregation. The decision divided a close-knit community and set an historic precedent. Now, discover the fascinating details, violent confrontations, and groundbreaking boycotts that led up to this decision. Also experience the remarkable speaking debut of the most powerful voice of Black America, Frederick Douglas."--Container.
