Today we discuss two wonderful black feminist movies! The first one we talk about is Daughters of the Dust directed by Julie Dash. Daughters of the Dust is set in 1902 and follows a family as they prepare to leave the Sea Islands, on the coast of Georgia, to move to the mainland. The second movie is Lemonade by Beyoncé. Marketed as a "visual album", Lemonade is a series of music videos, like mini-movies, that tell a story of betrayal, pain, self-love, and redemption.
Questions to Consider: How can multi-media lessons add depth to our curriculum? When we teach black history, are we including more than just moments of pain and suffering? How can presenting a culture as monolithic be damaging to our students?
