  • Bamcinématek Presents Strange Victories: Black Soldiers and World War II, a Series Focused on African-Americans’ Experiences During the War, Nov 10–16
    BAMcinématek presents Strange Victories: Black Soldiers and World War II, a series focused on African-Americans’ experiences during the war, Nov 10–16 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. October 10, 2017/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, November 10 through Thursday, November 16, BAMcinématek presents Strange Victories: Black Soldiers and World War II. Inspired by the release of Dee Rees’ extraordinary new epic Mudbound (sneak peek screening at BAMcinématek Oct 24 with director Dee Rees in attendance), BAMcinématek presents a cross section of films that explore the unique experiences of black soldiers who, in racially-segregated units, fought the spread of fascism overseas only to face racism again on home soil. These groundbreaking classics, compelling documentaries, and revisionist action spectacles shine much-needed light on the experience of black soldiers and veterans as the United States continues to struggle today with its legacy of historical, systemic racism. The series begins with Spike Lee’s Miracle at St. Anna (2008—Nov 10), a necessary corrective that mobilizes familiar tropes of the traditional Hollywood World War II movie to present a powerful story of black infantrymen who fought for a country that saw them as second-class citizens. On a similarly thrilling scale is Anthony Hemingway’s Red Tails (2012—Nov 12) about the Tuskegee Airmen, a legendary African-American fighter pilot unit. Its all-star cast features David Oyelowo, Michael B. Jordan, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. Mark Robson’s Home of the Brave (1949—Nov 14) was among the first studio-era dramas to address the challenges faced by black soldiers, including PTSD, bigotry, and the embedded racism of everyday life.

  • Biographical Description for the Historymakers® Video Oral History with Sheila Frazier
    Biographical Description for The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History with Sheila Frazier PERSON Frazier, Sheila, 1948- Alternative Names: Sheila Frazier; Sheila E. Frazier ; Life Dates: November 13, 1948- Place of Birth: New York, New York, USA Residence: Bronx, NY Work: Los Angeles, CA Occupations: Film Actress; Television Producer Biographical Note Actress and producer Sheila Elaine Frazier was born on November 13, 1948, in the Bronx, New York, to Dorothy Dennis and Eugene Cole Frazier. Frazier lived on the Lower East Side of New York City until the age of ten, when she moved with her mother to Englewood, New Jersey. In Englewood, Frazier’s neighbors included stars and future stars like Clyde McPhatter, Van McCoy, The Isley Brothers and Dolly and Jackie McClean. Frazier attended P.S. 97 in New York City and Liberty School in New Jersey. At Englewood’s Dwight Morrow High School, her classmates were Margaret Travolta and Hazel Smith. Inspired by Susan Hayward’s performance in the film, I’ll Cry Tomorrow, Frazier longed to be an actress but was hampered by a speech impediment. Graduating in 1966, Frazier moved to New York City where she served in various clerical positions with Allied Stores, Boutique magazine and the United Negro College Fund. Recruited by the noted Negro Ensemble Company photographer Bert Andrews, Frazier became acquainted with the New York arts community. Frazier studied acting at HB (Herbert Berkoff) Studios in New York, under the direction of Bill Hickey and Uta Hagen. Eventually actor Richard Roundtree encouraged Frazier to take acting lessons from Gilbert Moses at the Negro Ensemble Company which led to additional training with Dick Anthony Williams at the New Federal Theatre.

Some elusive, others printed indelibly on the brain.” —Kasi Lemmons, Eve’s Bayou (1997) hen we fi rst began to assemble this In Focus on black media, our excitement was quickly tempered by the enormity of the undertaking.1 Should the essays focus on mainstream or in- dependent media? Would the contributors emphasize texts, pedagogy, or research? To what extent should we address issues of Widentity facing not only this type of scholarship but also the scholars themselves? Ultimately, we decided to take on all these questions, using Stuart Hall’s provocation “What Is This ‘Black’ in Black Popular Cul- ture?” as both prompt and connective thread. Written in 1992, Hall’s essay still carries particular resonance for this contemporary moment in media history. Hall makes it clear that issues of identity, represen- tation, and politics will always converge around blackness. Further, Hall’s own academic background reminds us that, as a fi eld, black media studies has always drawn on discourses and scholarship from multiple academic disciplines. This context is particularly important 1 We have chosen to use the term black when describing media texts and elements of popular culture and African American when referring to individuals and groups of people. In the essays that follow, however, the authors use these terms in many different ways.
