GREAT DOCUMENTARY TO RECOMMEND: JAMES BALDWIN'S NARRATION OF HIS
DOCUMENTARY "I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO." This is a wonderful documentary
depicting the history of the black man in this nation from the 1950's
through the 1960's. Baldwin died in 1987.
This film surrounds the
assassination of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King all
three of whom were Baldwin's friends. It is a documentary that gives
one especially an American an understanding as to what the black man's
grievances are against this egregiously flawed nation with respect to its racist past and its most grievous actions against persons of color over the past 419 years. It gives one an
understanding as to what all the protesting, screaming and destruction are
all about.
The black man in this nation has been, I believe, much
sinned against. I understand the rage. I have it too.
