Here is our second and final episode for February/Black History Month. This week we decided to switch it up and watch a silent film,"Within Our Gates" (1920) by Oscar Micheaux, one of the first films by an African American director. "Within Our Gates" was made right after the race riots in 1919 and was a response to "Birth of a Nation" (1915). Micheaux does not hold back on showing what life is truly like for black people in America, so much so that some theaters refused to screen the film because they thought some scenes were too graphic. Check it out if you want a truly unique movie experience!
