We’ve hit the streets of Paris!

Correction:

It’s D.W. Griffith not whatever I said.

We’re halfway through the summer series.

Another one!

Can you say “Summer Series”!

 A musical prodigy, a civil rights activist, and one the highest paid entertainers of the 30's and 40's all walk into a room. They're all Black and they're all one woman: Hazel Scott.

A woman who appeared in over 200 films in her career. A political activist, the first distinctive mammy figure, but her legacy is on the fringes of our memory. Why?

An activist for the Golden age. A woman caught between her skin and her identity; Forever plagued by the role that made her famous.

A Black woman who pulled herself from the pits of despair and poverty. A Black woman whose career spanned 70 years. The Mother to us all.
