At :45:50 the artist comments that he never knew of or encountered a white artist that had to make work about being white…that white peoples have the luxury of just making art and how African Americans just making the work is a political statement. I feel that as black people we make a lot of assumptions about white people that may be just wrong. As a black person I can’t speak for white people but I feel like often times it is black people that build certain ideas in our minds that are not there or true. I think the bottom line for black people is a yearning in our own minds that white people embrace and love and cherish (etc) instead of just us accepting us ourselves. Who says that being an African American artist making art is a political statement? I think, we are not satisfied with our own no matter what the venue or accomplishments or achievements. Deep down to us it’s not good enough until white people elevate

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 great documentary

This is so lowkey✌🏾thank you🙏🏾

I love this! That’s my daughter playing the younger Zora as a child and my niece as Zora friend.

I’m so fortunate to have been part of the 1991 cast of, “HOUSE OF FLOWERS,” directed by Geoffrey Holder, starring Patti LaBelle, his wife Carmen De Lavallade, Christian Holder & some incredible upcoming Broadway actors. The experience was a live history lesson from a legendary-all around artist, that Geoffrey was. Great memories!

❤❤❤❤❤

This is excellent! Her aunt would be very proud.

Excellent Commentary

Thank you, Lord, for Zora..and for all the Zora's before her that we have never met..we, thank you for allowing us to know her. May her words rest in us, and may she rest in peace with Thee. Amen. 🤲🏾

Thank goodness for the Caucasian curiosity with everything.

Thank you

So she was 26 in the 10th grade? Wow. This just goes to show that you can do whatever you want at any time in life and we shouldn’t tease anyone.

B.A.G.:The Black Arts Guild circa 1970 / 1978 expanded on this! Founded by Prof. Turtel Onli. A Wiki search of his name will shine light to this bold creative action.

Rhythmism lives!

I visited her gravesite in Ft. Pierce, FL several times to place flowers there. Living in Vero Beach I felt the need to honor her in some way. I do the same for Travon Martin’s crypt. He is entombed in the same graveyard as my mother.

Valerie Boyd's Wrapped in Rainbows is one of the most comprehensive bios on Zora Neale Hurston. To see her commentary in this piece speaks volumes.

The fact that this documentary doesn't have at least a million views and comments is criminal. This man was brilliant. A true creative force in entertainment and Photojournalism. He inspired me to pick up a camera. Glad I did too. 💯💯💯

This was such a gem. One of my favorite parts was beginning at the 29:58 mark and an author named Al Murray was speaking about how art is about how it feels to be a human being without representative figures of it, for it is what you see, and it involves the human feelings as the raw materials itself.

This is just MAGIC

10:10 - 16:05 is classic. 10:40 it begins to roll.

Superb! Thank you so much.

Great doco on Bearden, to learn about his life and work

Lester wonderman was Jewish and it is interesting that this video does not touch much on the dogon creation story which predates the story of the Jewish nation by thousands of years indeed the Jewish religion and people's are explained by dogon cosmology and thus demoted Judaism from the preeminent position Judaism and Christianity claims for themselves. The dogon cosmology is perhaps the ground zero of all world religions
