BEST SELLING BLACK AUTHORS WHO SHAPED LITERARY HISTORY Maya Angelou One of the most prolific writers of our time, Black or otherwise, Maya An- gelou's storied career spanned several decades and included the publication of everything from poetry and essays to several autobiographies, including 1969's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. The deeply personal (and highly successful) book earned the author the distinction of penning the first nonfic- tion best-seller by an African American woman. Alex Haley While there's some disparity over official sales figures, it's safe to say that Alex Haley's 1976 classic, Roots, has sold well over five million cop- ies. What's even safer to say is that the story of Haley's ancestors is one of the most important works depicting the horrors and subsequent fall- out of the Atlantic enslaved person trade. In 1977, Haley won the fiction Pulitzer Prize for Roots, which was also adapted into two miniseries. Michelle Obama Although it was only released in November 2018, the first-time author and the former first lady's memoir, Becoming, has already made history. With reading enthusiasts buying more than three million books shortly following its publication, not only did the tome sell more copies in just one-and-a-half months than any other book in all of 2018, it also is “among the fastest- selling nonfiction books in history and already among the best-selling politi- cal memoirs of all time,” according to the Associated Press. Toni Morrison In 1988, Toni Morrison won both the Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award for her novel Beloved, which told the harrowing story of a formerly enslaved person following the Civil War. After writing the 1987 release, which was also adapted into a 1998 film starring Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover, Morrison went on to earn 1993's Nobel Prize in Literature for her 1997 book, Song of Solomon.

Most specifically, minimal information is related to adult learning that evolves as a result of popular culture influences. Popular culture promotes cultures of learning and teaches and facilitates a more informed literate citizenry. As a form of popular culture, movies inform adults about race, class, and gender issues. The movie, "Waiting to Exhale," challenges adult audiences to think critically about race, class, and gender experiences as they occur in the social context and examine problems that foster intergroup and community misunderstandings. It explores the complex themes of race, class, and gender and the quest for loving adult relationships amid the struggle to be successful African American women.

  • Using Film to Teach Psychology: a Resource of Film Study Guides
    USING FILM TO TEACH PSYCHOLOGY: A RESOURCE OF FILM STUDY GUIDES Elizabeth M. Nelson, Christian Brothers University (2002 Instructional Resource Award Recipient) Overview This 106-page resource offers instructors tools for using films to enhance their instruction. Student evaluations consistently indicate that films help them learn the topics, provide an alternative to traditional lectures, and give them a different point of view. However, students also say they do not like to view films if they do not understand the relevancy of the film to the course material. This resource gives teachers of psychology additional tools for using film, such as tested study guides, sample syllabi, student papers, references, and Internet resources. The film study guides contained in this resource have been used in a variety of psychology classes, and may be applicable to a variety of other courses.

  • BAM Presents Black 90S: a Turning Point in American Cinema, May 3—22, an Exploration of a Pivotal Era for Black Filmmakers
    BAM presents Black 90s: A Turning Point in American Cinema, May 3—22, an exploration of a pivotal era for black filmmakers March 29, 2019/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, May 3 through Wednesday, May 22, BAM presents Black 90s: A Turning Point in American Cinema, a nearly three week-long program of films, both low-budget art films and classic blockbusters, from an era of explosive creativity and newfound studio support for black filmmakers. The 1990s witnessed a historic number of films made by African-American directors who blazed new aesthetic pathways and who created touchstone works that continue to inspire contemporary filmmakers. Bringing together popular hits and unsung gems, this expansive series surveys the rich variety of genres and styles—from indie drama to comedy to romance to noir to queer cinema—upon which black filmmakers left their mark, making crucial strides in a fight for more complex representation that continues today. The series opens with a focus on the 1990s work of trailblazing filmmakers from the LA Rebellion, a generation of artists who studied at UCLA and created a black alternative to classical Hollywood. Opening night kicks off with Charles Burnett’s To Sleep with Anger (1990), a poetic realist masterpiece that weaves strains of black folklore, surrealism, and macabre comedy, with a mesmerizing performance by Danny Glover. It screens with a new 35mm print of Burnett’s short film When It Rains (1995), and will be followed by a Q&A with Burnett. Other films include Zeinabu Irene Davis’ innovative, century-spanning parallel romances in Compensation (1999); LA Rebellion leader Haile Gerima’s time-traveling portrait of the horrors of slavery and the power of revolt, Sankofa (1993); and Julie Dash’s dreamy evocation of early-20th-century Gullah life and black womanhood, Daughters of the Dust (1991).

She is a singer’s singer who has influenced countless other vocalists female and male. Music historians cite Whitney’s record-setting achievements: the only artist to chart seven consecutive #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits (“Saving All My Love For You,” “How Will I Know,” “Greatest Love Of All,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” “So Emotional,” and “Where Do Broken Hearts Go”); the first female artist to enter the Billboard 200 album chart at #1 (her second album, Whitney, 1987); and the only artist with eight consecutive multi-platinum albums (Whitney Houston, Whitney, I’m Your Baby Tonight, The Bodyguard, Waiting To Exhale , and The Preacher’s Wife soundtracks; My Love Is Your Love and Whitney: The Greatest Hits). In fact, The Bodyguard soundtrack is one of the top 5 biggest-selling albums of all-time (at 18x-platinum in the U.S. alone), and Whitney’s career-defining version of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” is the biggest-selling single of all time by a female artist (at 8x-platinum for physical and digital in the U.S. alone). Born into a musical family on August 9, 1963, in Newark, New Jersey, Whitney’s success might’ve been foretold.
