FILM 202 Images of African-Americans in Film

This course is an overview of how African Americans have been depicted in American film history from the early 20th century until the present. Relying upon both film excerpts and feature-length films, the course will illustrate how such representations speak to the social values of American society over time. In that respect, the films include both mainstream Hollywood releases and smaller independent films made by African-American filmmakers.
