General Howe took the A train to Harlem and when he got off the train some very cool cats were blowing and he stopped and stood on the stoop and listened until a Jamaican woman hollered out "Git in here!" and that was that.
No history is ever accurate. Burns has gone a long way to opening historical subjects to many people who are deeply ignorant about their own history. This particular piece seems to give much more voice to the people who have been left out of written texts - indigenous, slaves, women. Not perfect, but for the average viewer, more realistic and accurate.
