It was in September, 100 years ago, that the film "Birth of a Nation" opened at the Colonial Theatre in Norfolk. Birth of a Nation is still considered one of the greatest and most important American films ever made for how it influenced Hollywood's visual storytelling conventions, however, it also made popular devestating stereotypes of African Americans, particularly Black men, as foolish, dangerous, predatory and in need of being controlled or killed. On the next Another View, we'll talk about how the creative community came together to fight against these stereotypes through the arts. "Birth of an Answer" is a celebration of 100 years of African American creative responses to Birth of a Nation. We'll talk with Actor, Director and Producer Tim Reid; Van Dora Williams, Associate Professor of Journalism and Communications, Hampton University; and Sarah Florini, PhD, Assistant Professor of Communications and Theatre Arts, Old Dominion University. Join us for Another View, Friday, September 18 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us live on this blog!
