A Few Documentaries on African American History

[LurkerSix]

So I mentioned in that 'Hidden Colors' thread, that I felt there were better documentaries out there that dove deeper on specific topics, because I didnt watch the whole thing of the first one, because it didnt teach me anything new (This was after someone linked me to the film hyping it saying I'd learn so much and be woke. So I was rather salty when i saw nothing but shit I already knew and assumed most people knew and TBH I also feel like they're more like propaganda films marketed that way to get donations from blacks, but i'm not gunna get into that). A few people expressed interest in me making a thread, so here we are.

These documentaries taught me a lot, that i didn't know and also had things that i over looked, that was actually really important.

I figured this would be smooth sailing, but i ran into some snags, thats why this took longer than i expected. Turns out a lot of these were only licensed to be online for free for a period of time, before you have to either join the site and make a donation, or just buy the film on blueray or w/e. So you got that coupled with me trying to remember the names of the films I saw, since i deleted a lot them from my DVR n shit smh. Spent a few days not exactly pleased. But I got it done.

For this first set, its going to be a process to view it, if you are in the United States. The uploader has our country blocked so it can stay on youtube. You'll have to use a VPN or a proxy to view it. If you dont have or want to use a VPN, here are two proxy sites you can use. https://www.hidemyass.com/en-us/proxy or https://www.proxfree.com/ . When you go to hidemyass, just go to "connect my server" and change it to a country outside of the US and for proxfree, just change "ip address location", before you paste the link to the youtube and connect. It should pop right up and play on the site.

Slave Catchers, Slave Resisters

The following description of the film was written by film producer Judy Richardson for H-Net.
Slave Catchers, Slave Resisters

is a two-hour History Channel documentary that depicts the system of slave policing—enforced by militia, armed community slave patrols, paid slave catchers, and federal law.
The stories are set in both the South and the North, from the mid-1700’s colonial era through the end of the Civil War and its aftermath, and told through archival material, scholar interviews and recreations.
While the stories show the brutality of the slave system, they also reveal another, often-overlooked side of the history—the strength and ingenuity of the enslaved. As historian Peter Wood observes, “Would they [the enslaved] go willingly into a situation of perpetual racial servitude? No way!”
In the South, we portray slave hunters and their bloodhounds, who sometimes lost against the intelligence and fight-to-the-death courage of the enslaved. And in the North, we show slave catchers who were sometimes blocked by an organized—and armed—black community. Historian James O. Horton comments: “Boston is not a safe place for slave catchers to operate… Blacks—and sometimes whites—formed as groups to protect fugitives.”
Even in the South, plantations were like pressure cookers, as our film illustrates. Sometimes they exploded into full-scale rebellions—like the 1739 Stono Rebellion in South Carolina or the 1831 rebellion led by Nat Turner in Virginia. But, more often, they were plagued by the low-level simmering of individual acts of resistance. One Philadelphia company even refused to issue fire insurance policies in slave states because of the high incidence of arson.
However, as we make clear, the main problem for slave owners was not rebellion, but runaways. Historian Loren Schweninger notes, “A minimum number of slaves per year that ran away was 50,000 and probably many more… It was almost routine.” Most ran simply to be reunited with family members who’d been sold away.
During the Revolutionary War, Thomas Jefferson noted that thousands of slaves fled Virginia plantations alone, including some from Jefferson’s own plantation. One of Patrick Henry’s slaves took to heart Henry’s cry of “Give me liberty, or give me death”—and fled. Even the power granted the slaveholding states in the new Constitution could not stop slave escapes. Historian Sylvia Frey states, “The enslaved population had waged a desperate… but unsuccessful struggle for freedom, [but] the impetus that the Revolution provided persisted.”
To stanch the flow of escaping slaves, plantation owners used a variety of methods over time: an elaborate system of slave patrols with rigid rules, Negro Acts and other legislation, “Negro dogs” especially bred to track runaways (including some bred by a future U.S. president), and slave catchers hired in the South and the North.
Our documentary tells true stories of slave catchers and escaping slaves that have never before been portrayed on film. And threaded throughout these unusual and little-known stories is information about the tools slave hunters used to bring back runaway slaves, the strategies used by the enslaved to thwart their pursuers… and the lengths to which both would go to achieve their goal.

SLAVERY BY ANOTHER NAME

Slavery by Another Name is a 90-minute documentary that challenges one of Americans’ most cherished assumptions: the belief that slavery in this country ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. The film tells how even as chattel slavery came to an end in the South in 1865, thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality.

Birth Of A Movement: The Battle Against America's First Blockbuster

DW Griffiths’ 1915 epic The Birth of a Nation is widely regarded as a milestone in the history of cinema – but it’s also unarguably a work of racist propaganda. Griffiths’ film, though technically innovative, problematically depicted the Ku Klux Klan as heroes protecting innocent white Americans from predatory black men, and led to protests across America to have the film banned. BIRTH OF A MOVEMENT: THE BATTLE AGAINST AMERICA’S FIRST BLOCKBUSTER, based on Dick Lehr's book The Birth of a Movement, looks back to the first protests against the film, led by African-American newspaper editor William M Trotter, and their role in the birth of the civil rights movement. Contributors include Lehr himself, alongside Spike Lee, Reginald Hudlin and DJ Spooky.

"If you knew in your heart & your mind that someone took your child's life, how far would you go to get to the truth?"

PBS has debuted an official trailer for an indie documentary titled Always in Season, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. After winning a Special Jury Award at Sundance, the acclaimed film went on to play at the Omaha, Cleveland, Full Frame, Atlanta, Sarasota, San Francisco, and Provincetown Film Festivals throughout the year.
The film centers on the case of Lennon Lacy, an African American teen who was found hanging from a swing set in Bladenboro, North Carolina, on August 29, 2014.
Despite inconsistencies in the case, local officials quickly ruled Lennon’s death a suicide, but his mother, Claudia, believes Lennon was lynched. Claudia moves from paralyzing grief to leading the fight for justice for her son and reconciliation begins while the trauma of more than a century of lynching African Americans bleeds into the present.
ALWAYS IN SEASON explores the lingering impact of more than a century of lynching African Americans and connects this form of historic racial terrorism to racial violence today. It goes beyond the story of Lennon, examining lynching throughout history. Another powerful doc about America's sordid past.

Reconstruction: America After the Civil War
https://www.pbs.org/show/reconstruction-america-after-civil-war/

Reconstruction: America After the Civil War explores the transformative years following the American Civil War, when the nation struggled to rebuild itself in the face of profound loss, massive destruction, and revolutionary social change. This new, four hour documentary series will tell the full story of this misrepresented and misunderstood chapter of American history.

(trailer)


Reconstruction | Part 1, Hour 1

The aftermath of the Civil War was bewildering, exhilarating . . . and terrifying. African Americans had played a crucial role in saving the Union and now, as the country grappled with the terms and implications of Reconstruction, they struggled to breathe life into their hard-won freedom. The result was a second American Revolution.

Reconstruction | Part 1, Hour 2

Post-Civil War America was a new world. For African Americans living in the former Confederacy, Reconstruction was what historian W. E. B. Du Bois once described as their “brief moment in the sun.” But support for the social, economic, and political gains they achieved didn’t last long. A controversial presidential election in 1876 deals Reconstruction a grievous blow.

Reconstruction | Part 2, Hour 1

Hour three of the series examines the years 1877-1896, a transitional period that saw visions of a “New South” set the stage for the rise of Jim Crow and the undermining of Reconstruction’s legal and political legacy. While some African Americans attempted to migrate, the vast majority remained in the South, where sharecropping, convict leasing, disfranchisement, and lynchings drew a “color line”.

Reconstruction | Part 2, Hour 2

The turn of the century is known as the ‘nadir’ of race relations, when white supremacy was ascendant and African Americans faced both physical and psychological oppression. Racist imagery saturated popular culture and Southern propaganda manipulated the story of the Civil War and Reconstruction. But African Americans found ways to fight back, using artistic expression to put forward a “New Negro”

We’re taught that citizenship involves certain rights and duties but the reality for many citizens in minority communities, these rights of citizenship are not automatically granted. Nashville Public Television’s original series The Citizenship Project explores these stories, one hundred years after the Civil War and into the 20th century.

First Black Statesmen: Tennessee's Self-Made Men | The Citizenship Project |

At the end of the Civil War, after ratification of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution, there was a relatively brief fifteen year period where voters elected and the Tennessee Legislature seated African-American legislators. The first was Sampson Keeble in 1873, and he was followed by a dozen more after him. These men were former slaves, businessmen, teachers, lawyers and farmers from Davidson, Tipton, Shelby, Fayette and other counties around the state. However, they struggled and sometimes lost against the forces opposing them both in the legislature and in their hometowns. Those forces used black codes, vote suppression, ballot rigging, threats and violence against them. In more than one case, the legislator fled the state for safety. In 1888, the last of the elected black legislators left office. One more was elected in 1896, reportedly "by the largest vote for any legislative candidate" from that county, but he was denied his seat by the Legislature. The Tennessee Legislature would remain an all-white body from 1888 until 1964.

One of the rights African Americans gained as a result of the Civil War was the right to free expression. Rather than rely on the newspapers of the day to carry their stories and the stories they were interested in, Black Tennesseans started their own newspapers. Over the years, these papers were read by black and white Tennesseans alike.

A Time of Joining

The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a time of joining in Tennessee. Civil war gave way to civic engagement, as thousands of benevolent societies and fraternal organizations formed. Born from crisis, these community organizations became a part of the fabric of a newly reborn United States. These institutions helped define and influence American ideals over a tumultuous period of growth.

Don’t be harsh on Hidden Color/1804 films. Everybody don’t know what’s on those films. Most don’t. It’s also much easier watch than the heavier stuff, like a pre cursor. There’s real historians/scholars on those films who have full lectures by themselves I ran into later in my studies. The entertainers help sell it and provide a perspective. Although your understanding may be further, please don’t shit on them films especially if you ain’t sit through them all. Disservice to our folks

Thats why i said for me i didnt learn anything. But other people I saw talking about it (and some that linked me) learned from it. Thats one of the reason I made this. In case people only heard of Hidden Colors docs and dont know about other ones.
Most times its just sad when you meet other black people who dont even know the basic stuff, not even specific names and dates.

OK, I was right about me forgetting something.

I'm trying to keep w/e video updates I might make to the first page.

If you check the view count on some of those official videos on youtube, the numbers are pitiful. Usually a few dozen or a couple hundred at most. Wish most people would look around first and check, before they claim they cant find documentaries telling the truth, on black history. Makes no sense why they giving people like Tariq Nasheed 6 figures through crowd funding, for him to make a doc he likes, when we got stuff like this out here for free.
