  • Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - the AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION
    AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA CINEMA AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA The history of the African-American Cinema is a harsh timeline of racism, repression and struggle contrasted with film scenes of boundless joy, hope and artistic spirit. Until recently, the study of the "separate cinema" (a phrase used by historians John Kisch and Edward Mapp to describe the segregation of the mainstream, Hollywood film community) was limited, if not totally ignored, by writers and researchers. The uphill battle by black filmmakers and performers, to achieve acceptance and respect, was an ugly blot on the pages of film history. Upon winning his Best Actor Oscar for LILLIES OF THE FIELD (1963), Sidney Poitier accepted, on behalf of the countless unsung African-American artists, by acknowledging the "long journey to this moment." This emotional, heartbreaking and inspiring journey is vividly illustrated by the latest acquisition to the Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION. The valuable research material, housed in this collection, includes over 300 pressbooks (illustrated campaign and advertising catalogs sent to theatre owners), press kits (media packages including biographies, promotional essays and illustrations), programs and over 1000 photographs and slides. The journey begins with the blatant racism of D.W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a film respected as an epic milestone, but reviled as the blueprint for black film stereotypes that would appear throughout the 20th century. Researchers will follow African-American films through an extended period of stereotypical casting (SONG OF THE SOUTH, 1946) and will be dazzled by the glorious "All-Negro" musicals such as STORMY WEATHER (1943), ST.LOUIS BLUES (1958) and PORGY AND BESS (1959).

    SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Two stories over the past four weeks are distinguished by how much and how little attention Americans paid to them. Reports of the amount of destruction caused by Hurricane Hugo were very closely followed by 60% of Americans, making it the third most closely followed story out of the 71 tracked by the Times Mirror News Interest Index over the past three years. At the other extreme only 6% reported following closely news about the scandal involving Barney Frank. The Frank story now matches the record for public inattentiveness established by the story of former Japanese Prime Minister Takeshita's troubles in May 1989. The difference in public response to these two stories is in keeping with a pattern that has become clear from the monthly findings of the Times Mirror News Interest Index. Public attentiveness to coverage of news events is high, while public attentiveness to news about most personal scandals is usually low. A second pattern that emerges from our monthly data is also dramatically reinforced this month. Big news in Washington often doesn't travel very far, even when the consequences are far reaching. Not one of the major Washington stories of this period was followed by as many as 25 percent of Americans. Even interest in overseas events overshadowed interest in what was happening in Washington this month. Only 14% of the Times Mirror sample paid close attention to news about approval in the House of Representatives of a cut in the capital gains tax. A similar proportion (15%) followed closely news about the President's education summit meeting with the nation's governors.

  • Ford, Boys Will Be Boys (2018)
    12 WITCH HUNT People’s lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused—life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process? So tweeted President Donald Trump at the start of 2018. His tweet was in response to the resignation of White House Staff Secretary, Rob Porter, who had been accused by at least two women of spousal abuse beginning at least as far back as 2003. One of those women, Jennifer Willoughby, filed for an emergency protection order against him in 2010. In a blog post written in April 2017, Willoughby described the abuse she alleged she suffered in her marriage to Porter, saying, ‘The first time he called me a “fucking bitch” was on our honeymoon. (I found out years later he had kicked his first wife on theirs.) . He belittled my intelligence and destroyed my confidence . in my home, the abuse was insidious. The threats were personal. The terror was real.’ More than a decade earlier, Porter’s first wife, Colbie Holderness, had taken photographs of a black eye she says Porter inflicted on her when they were holidaying in Florence. Over the subsequent years, she spoke to family, friends, clergy and even the FBI about the abuse. In fact, the FBI spoke to both Willoughby and Holderness about Porter when the Trump Administration took office, because White House staff members all require security clearance. That it was proving difficult for Porter to obtain his was apparently not considered an issue by the people he ultimately ended up working for.

    NINJA TURTLES TOP POP CULTURE NEWSMAKERS LITHUANIA TOP STORY OF MONTH, FOREIGN NEWS MOST IMPORTANT FIFTH CONSECUTIVE MONTH Events overseas are overshadowing the importance of domestic news to the public. Americans are ten times more likely to cite an international news story (40%) than a domestic one (4%) as the most important event of the month. This is the fifth month in a row that Americans have named overseas stories more often than U.S. based ones as the most important news of the period. George Bush's high approval ratings, despite very low ratings for handling of domestic issues may reflect the unusual dominance of foreign news. (See Son of Teflon story.) Americans saw the struggle for Lithuanian independence as the single most important news event of the month and it was the story most closely followed by the public in March. Twenty-nine percent of Times Mirror's sample said they followed news about Lithuania's attempts to secede from the Soviet Union and Moscow's measures to prevent it. This level of attentiveness is almost identical to the attention paid to the top story out of Eastern or Central Europe in each of the four preceding months. For perspective, 29% is a considerably higher percentage than watch top rated shows, such as Roseanne or the Cosby show. Nearly the same percentage reported that they followed very closely news about the tragic fire in the Bronx social club (28%), but compared to Lithuania (23%) fewer said that the Bronx fire was the single news story they followed most closely in March (12%).
