I find it astounding that Shola Lynch’s award winning Chisholm 72: Unbought and Unbossed is not on this list. 2012 marks the 40th anniversary of her historic run as the first African American and the first woman to mount a national campaign for the US presidency of a major Party.
Love the list….
Please add Dark Girls by Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry, The Black Line series by D Channsin Berry My Nappy Roots: A Journey through Black Hair-itage by Regina Kimbell
Thank you for the great list! I’ll track down the Latin American titles, which are new to me.
I would humbly add PBS’ brilliant “Freedom Riders” and “Africans in America: America’s Journey Through Slavery.” Also the incredibly wonderful “Lightning in a Bottle,” a concert film that records old and young Blues players under one roof, with vintage footage and photos to round out the history.
I like your choices–especially Black in Latin American. It is a great series that proves the importance of celebrating and acknowledging the African Diaspora.
