This week we will focus on the impact and struggles of African/Black people in the media and in contemporary and historic movies. Review the materials in the content about the role of African-American people in the media and movies and watch all of the videos.  Then google search of your favorite Black/African media personality and movie/shows or Netflix or Hulu on Black/African history/culture or politics and compare and contrast the representation of African/Black people.

Using this forum answer the following questions:

1. What are your thoughts about the material on the media and movies during the civil rights era?

2. Identify what media personality and movies or shows that you choose and why you choose them?

3. What are the similarities and differences between the representation in these two sets of material?
