ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it.
Delete...Harlem sure has a rich history.
ReplyDeleteThat's true
DeleteGreat post
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteThe Harlem Renaissance is considered The revival or transformation of the African American community.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes, thanks!
DeleteThat's not something I think there are a lot of, but then I'm not film expert.
ReplyDeleteThey were called "race films" and were quite a thing in the first half of the 1900s.
DeleteI´ll never understand why we differ according to colors. Believes, yes, but the plain color?
ReplyDeleteAnd over such a long time, too.
But. Ukraine shows, "we" never learn.
I´ll have a look later - soon Die Maus and a fairy tale starts :-)
It's hard to understand.
DeleteFabulous, thanks for sharing! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome :)
DeleteThanks for highlighting this film ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan

DeleteThe first time I went to NYC, I crossed the bridge and landed in Harlem. Someone told me I could have been killed just for being white. I never felt in danger at all and loved the vibe there. This is an excellent film to show especially in the wake of Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation to the Supreme Court.
ReplyDeleteI've never been there. These films were an interesting target-audience genre. I wonder why they quit making them in the mid-50s...
DeleteThis sounds very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, an different kind of film than anything I usually see.
