In the past, stereotypes of African Americans were used for influencing views of whites on them and creating notions about them in order to manifest their inferiority. Film employed these stereotypes of African Americans and played an important role in the process of popularization of the stereotypes. As a visual medium, film brings the stereotypes to life, providing them with real shapes and real faces of African American actors and actresses, which contributes to the intensification of the belief that stereotypical portrayals on the big screens are based on truthful representations of real people with real life experience and stories.

  • The Women's Foundation of Colorado Announces Academy Award
    Media Contact Lisa Christie Phone: 303-285-2961 Cell: 917-609-0839 [email protected] For Immediate Release The Women’s Foundation of Colorado Announces Academy Award- Winning Actress Octavia Spencer as 2017 Annual Luncheon Special Guest Star of “Hidden Figures” Will Celebrate The Foundation’s 30 Years of Helping Women and Girls Reach Their Promise and Potential DENVER (March 27, 2017) – The Women’s Foundation of Colorado (WFCO) announced today that Octavia Spencer, Academy Award-winning actress, is the special guest at its 2017 Annual Luncheon on September 28, 2017. As a star of “Hidden Figures” and “The Help,” Octavia Spencer has emerged as one of America’s most beloved and acclaimed actresses. Her roles often portray courageous and intelligent women who boldly overcome societal barriers keeping them from fulfilling their promise and potential. “The Women’s Foundation of Colorado celebrates our 30th anniversary in 2017, and Octavia Spencer is the inspirational luncheon guest we wanted to mark this occasion with us and our supporters,” said Lauren Y. Casteel, president and CEO of WFCO. “For 30 years, WFCO has helped Colorado’s women and girls reach their promise and potential. Octavia not only plays iconic characters who bravely break through glass ceilings, but personally she also has broken a few barriers of her own.” Spencer currently can be seen in “Hidden Figures” with Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monáe, and Kevin Costner. The film tells the true story of several African-American women who provide NASA with critical information needed to launch the program’s early successful space missions. Through her performance as Dorothy Vaughan, she earned Academy Award, NAACP Image Award, SAG, and Golden Globe nominations.
