Formerly incarcerated author and leader Shaka Senghor writes, “As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, I’m honored to share that I will be appearing in the Netflix documentary The American Experiment … Throughout the series, my voice is used to bring several historical figures and foundational texts to life. You’ll hear me voice Olaudah Equiano in Episode 2, read portions of the Declaration of Independence in Episode 2, voice Melancton Smith in Episode 5, and read the Eighth Amendment of the Bill of Rights in Episode 5.
“For me, this opportunity carries a meaning far beyond narration.
“As a descendant of Africans who were enslaved on this continent, and as a man who spent nearly two decades incarcerated, I approached this work with deep gratitude. To lend my voice to the words, debates, and ideals that helped shape this nation is both humbling and profoundly moving!”
