A Century of Black Cinema
A CUP OF JK๐
Description
On this week’s episode, Sonny is joined by Wil Haygood, author of the new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Colorization-Hundred-Years-Black-Films/dp/0525656871/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1637185644&sr=8-2">Colorization: One Hundred Years of Black Films in a White World</a>. Haygood’s book is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn about largely forgotten trailblazers such as Oscar Micheaux, better-known figures like Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte, the controversies over movies as diverse as The Birth of a Nation and Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, the odd fate of Porgy and Bess, and so much more. Colorization is both breezy and in-depth—the best sort of popular history—and our conversation only scratched the surface of his book.
