![Amiri Baraka - Somebody Blew Up America (2004) | Reelblack
Home video I recorded at the 2004 Denver Pan African Film Festival. My apologies for the less than stellar sound. Feel free to like, comment, subscribe.
Amiri Baraka (born Everett LeRoi Jones; October 7, 1934 β January 9, 2014), previously known as LeRoi Jones and Imamu Amear Baraka,[1] was an African-American writer of poetry, drama, fiction, essays and music criticism. He was the author of numerous books of poetry and taught at several universities, including the State University of New York at Buffalo and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He received the PEN/Beyond Margins Award, in 2008 for Tales of the Out and the Gone.
Barakas brief tenure as Poet Laureate of New Jersey (2002β2003) involved controversy over a public reading of his poem Somebody Blew Up America?, which resulted in accusations of anti-Semitism and negative attention from critics and politicians. - Wikipedia

![The Loving Story - Nancy Biurski & Elisabeth Haviland James (2011) | #NancyBiurskiRIP
Nancy Florence Buirski (June 24, 1945 β August 29, 2023) was an American filmmaker, producer, and photographer. She wrote, directed, and produced the documentary films A Crime on the Bayou (2020) and Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy (2022).
In 1998 Buirski founded the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, in collaboration with the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and directed it for ten years. However, she did not herself make documentaries until The Loving Story in 2011, which concerned the case of Mildred and Richard Loving, an interracial couple. Married in the District of Columbia in 1958 they had not realized that their marriage was illegal in Virginia, where they lived, and were only able to avoid imprisonment by agreeing to leave the state. After a lengthy legal battle, the Supreme Court found unanimously in their favor in 1967. Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the film premiered at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and was later presented at numerous other events. The film won an Emmy.[5] Buirski was awarded a prize for The Loving Story at the Peabody Awards in 2012[6] and the movie was also on the shortlist for the Oscar in the category Best Documentary. The documentary was used by director Jeff Nichols as inspiration for the movie Loving (2016), for which Buirski was a producer. - Wikipedia
