The presidential candidate who has been running his campaign through television ads and private meetings this week spent a historic amount of money with Black newspapers - $3.5 million. "Of all the presidential candidates in the 2020 election, Mike Bloomberg just made the largest single political ad buy in the history of the NNPA," said Dr. Ben Chavis, president/CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) in an interview with the Trice Edney News Wire. "The money has already been distrib- uted and it's running in our newspapers right now." Chavis says the money will be broken down among NNPA member newspapers in states that hold primaries on Super Tuesday and beyond.

  • 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).

  • Bamcinématek Presents a Pryor Engagement, an 18-Film Retrospective of Richard Pryor, the Beloved Comedian and National Treasure, Feb 8—13 & 19—21
    BAMcinématek presents A Pryor Engagement, an 18-film retrospective of Richard Pryor, the beloved comedian and national treasure, Feb 8—13 & 19—21 Weekday double features and all films in 35mm Nelson George, Hilton Als, & Armond White in person “We just loved Richard. He was the only one who could move you to tears. No one was funnier, dearer, darker, heavier, stronger, more radical. He was everything. And his humanity was just glorious.”—Lily Tomlin The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor of BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Jan 14, 2013—From Friday, February 8 to Thursday, February 21, BAMcinématek presents A Pryor Engagement, an 18-film revue of the great comic genius Richard Pryor. A major influence on such contemporary comedians as Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Lewis Black, Eddie Murphy, and countless others, the wild and wired Richard Pryor emerged from the Midwestern Chitlin’ Circuit, became a successful mainstream nightclub comic in the 60s, and went on to become a cultural phenomenon, ushering stories and voices from the black underclass into the public eye. In addition to releasing a steady string of epochal, smash-hit comedy albums, Pryor translated his incredible audience rapport into movie stardom, appearing in no less than 40 films. A Pryor Engagement starts Friday, February 8, with Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979—Feb 8), which Pauline Kael called “probably the greatest of all recorded-performance films” and is easily one of the most influential stand-up films of all time. Pryor sneak attacks the stage at Long Beach’s Terrace Theater while the audience is still filing in and doesn’t take his foot off the gas, soaking through with sweat as he impersonates the whole of the great outdoors, delivers a brilliant monologue on the sweet science of boxing, and gets confessional about doing coke at grandma’s dining room table.
