This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!  We open with an interview with Jeffrey Robinson, producer/writer, and directors, Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler in conversation about the remarkable film, "Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America."  https://www.sonyclassics.com/film/whoweare/ 2. We speak to Yoruba Richen and Brad Lichtenstein, directors of "American Reckoning" on Frontline https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/american-reckoning/ Both films aired earlier
