- Description of Pictures: Panel - Hollywood Shuffle? Black History on Film
Two years after #OscarsSoWhite began trending, the History Film Forum and The Undefeated examine the state of Black history on the screen. The African American Film Critics Association called 2016 the best year ever for black people in cinema, with films like Loving, Hidden Figures, and The Free State of Jones, along with powerful documentaries like OJ: Made in America, I am not your Negro, and 13th. We saw projects featuring African Americans in front of and behind the camera and black stories at the forefront. Despite the long standing dearth of diverse stories of the past making it to movie audiences, does this year indicate a lasting shift where we might consistently see new stories of the past on the screen?
Join a special panel discussion featuring NMAH curator Fath Davis Ruffins and filmmaker Sam Pollard moderated by The Undefeated's Kelley Carter as we examine the state of black history on the screen.
Also on the panel was April Reign (activist and BroadwayBlack.com managing editor whose #OscarsSoWhite hashtag went viral), Nicholas Wiggins (senior consultant at Values Partnerships), and Caty Borum Chattoo (Director of the Center for Media & Social Impact [CMSI]).
Panel (left to right): Fath Davis Ruffins, Sam Pollard, April Reign, Nicholas Wiggins, Caty Borum Chattoo, and Kelley Carter.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
