Fire in Little Africa

100 years after the Tulsa Race Massacre, over 50 of Oklahoma's best artist come together to create a commemorative album to honor the legacy of BlackWallStreet. This was a recorded in 5 days and right on the famous Greenwood Avenue.


You Can't Stop Spirit

The New Orleans Baby Doll maskers are a pivotal yet overshadowed tradition of Black Mardi Gras that stems from Storyville, the former vice district in New Orleans, in the early 19th century. Baby Dolls of the Mardi Gras tradition paint a full picture of masking culture and how it operates as a vehicle for women to redefine notions of gender, sexual identity and freedom.


Dreams of Emmett Till

Emmett Till was killed in 1955. Now, an elderly Caroyn Bryant must face her accusation against this little Black boy that led to his brutal murder back in segregated Mississippi and haunts America to this day.
