Host Baratunde Thurston is back with new adventures exploring how Americans work, play and interact with the outdoors.

America Outdoors With Baratunde Thurston airs Wednesdays at 7 p.m. beginning September 6.

THE BUSING BATTLEGROUND On September 12, 1974, police were stationed outside schools across the city as Black and white students were bused for the first time between neighborhoods to comply with a federal court desegregation order. The cross-town busing was met with shocking violence, much of it directed at children. The chaos and racial unrest would escalate and continue for years. Using eyewitness accounts, oral histories and news footage, this film pulls back the curtain on the volatile effort to end school segregation, detailing the decades-long struggle for educational equity that preceded the crisis.

American Experience: The Busing Battleground airs September 11 at 8 p.m.
