The relationship between mainstream movies and the African American community is complex.   From the use of blackface in the early 1900s to Blaxploitation films in the 1970s to The Color Purple (1985) and BlacKkKlansman (2018), there has been an evolution of how African American characters have been portrayed in film.  You are invited to spend an evening tracing the highlights of this evolution and discuss its impact on our culture.
