Meeting David Wilson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meeting David Wilson is a 90-minute video produced for initial presentation on the MSNBC cable channel. Its focus is the encounter between David A. Wilson, a black American filmmaker who grew up in Newark, New Jersey, and David B. Wilson, a descendant of a white American tobacco-plantation owner who had owned some of the black Wilson's ancestors as slaves. The film was directed by Daniel Woolsey and David A. Wilson and produced by Barion Grant.
