MUST WATCH FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH 🤎🖤✊🏽
I’m very surprised i haven’t seen much content related to black history month and in general despite what’s going on in the world right now. So here’s just a small amount of movies and shows that i find very educational, REAL /RAW and just something that reminds us slavery was not that long ago ‼️
Emancipation is very graphic and it’s also based on a true story. If you can’t stomach what happened back then i suggest you just don’t watch it. Absolutely loved it 🥹
Underground wasn’t bad at all but you have to listen carefully as to what certain scenes say because the amount of truth that was spoken and not heard is crazy. Wish it was longer and i did not like the ending 😭😭🤦🏽♀️
Counter histories in rock hill is something i didn’t even know happened. It’s something that you don’t think about day to day but segregation was all around us and where we live. And being in SC nobody ever taught me that. 🙏🏽 #blackhistorymonth✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #blackhistory #letschat #movies #tvshows
As we commemorate Black History Month, it is essential to immerse ourselves in narratives that illustrate the struggle and resilience of the Black community. Some great films not only provide entertainment but also educate viewers about historical events and figures that shaped our society. 'Emancipation' offers a graphic and powerful portrayal of an important true story, highlighting the harsh realities of slavery. It is a must-watch for those who wish to confront history head-on. 'Underground,' although sometimes subtle in its delivery, contains significant truths worth listening for; its depiction of the Underground Railroad provides insight into the courage required for freedom. Lastly, 'Counter Histories: Rock Hill' is crucial for understanding local experiences during the Civil Rights Movement. This documentary reveals events often overlooked in mainstream history teaching, showing how peaceful protests were met with violence. It's vital to ensure that such narratives are not forgotten, as they shape our current understanding of race relations. By engaging with these works, we can foster discussions about race, history, and the transformation necessary for a more equitable future.
After hearing your introduction, I want to go and see it🥰🥰
