Desc: Sankofa: The Untold Story of Harry Herbert Pace: Directed by Eric Pace. Harry Herbert Pace was one of the most important African American entrepreneurs, and civil rights activists of the 20th century. Yet, when he died, his children passed into the white race, and never spoke of their African American ancestry, or their fathers legacy again. This great business and cultural pioneer was all but forgotten by society. In 2007, the grandson of the great Harry H. Pace discovered the family secret, and embarked on a unique journey of discovery, identity, and celebration, in the hope that Harry Herbert Paces achievements would once again be remembered.
