Description

Burns' new six-part PBS documentary series includes the perspectives of women, Native Americans and enslaved and free Black people — all of whom were initially excluded from the declaration "all men are created equal." The series begins Nov. 16. 

Also, Lloyd Schwartz reviews a recording of Handel arias from soprano Julia Lezhneva.
