For decades movies with African American casts were hard to come by. Occasionally Hollywood would throw us a bone with movies like Cabin in the Sky or Carmen Jones. In the late 60s and early 70s the exploitation film became a thing.

Tomorrow starts Black History Month. Join me on the journey and a learn a few new things you might not have known. Lets enjoy being African American. We aren’t perfect, but we sure are fun. Also lets honor the history of African Americans which has been misreported and ignored.

Join me in February as I uplift the race on this site, UPP Creative and Black Gyrl Art on Facebook, and @blackgyrlart on Instagram.
