Here is some more information about The Black List Project and the related DVDs.  There was also a contest, which is the subject of the first video below, where people would name their own Black List.  Both Volume 1 and 2 have some great African-American talent that I’m considering owning both copies for my DVD collection.

VIDEO- The Blacklist Vol. II: The Winners (HBO). I can personally relate to the first woman’s story about how she was treated by her own black peers.

“The Black List Project reveals the diverse experiences of being black in America through interviews and portrait sessions with leading African-American figures.  The project was conceived by photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, who collaborated with Elvis Mitchell, film critic and NPR correspondent.” (source: blacklistproject.com)
