Actress S. Epatha Merkerson tells “Say Anything!” host Joy Behar why the theme of slavery in her film “Lincoln” resonates with today’s audiences. “If you know something, then you’re less afraid of it,” Merkerson says. “If you don’t know where you’ve come from, then it’s very difficult to know where you’re going.” With more slavery related movies entering the forefront of “entertainment” is this a good time to really start more discussions on the topic of slavery and it’s place in history and ultimately its long lasting effects on the United States?
