The Colors of Your Life
The Colors Of Your Life is a play about racial and sexual discrimination in the USA in the 1960s and the present day, seen through the dramatic lives and often terrifying experiences of its two characters, May and Shirley, who are grandmother and granddaughter. The play can be performed with or without songs especially written by Ed Anderson. Without songs, it is an absorbing account of life for Black women in America, then and now. With songs, it remains a powerful statement, the songs adding to the account traced in the text. The play is for a cast of two and can be presented with the simplest of sets on stage, in any non-theatrical location (a school or community center for example), or on film/video, or on radio.

Blaxploitation Films of the 1970s
During the early years of the motion picture industry, black performers were often depicted as shuckin’ and jivin’ caricatures. Specifically, black males were portrayed as toms, coons and bucks, while the mammy and tragic mulatto archetypes circumscribed black femininity. This misrepresentation began to change in the 1950s and 1960s when performers such as Dorothy Dandridge and Sidney Poitier were cast in more positive roles. These performers paved the way for the black exploitation or blaxploitation movement, which began in 1970 and flourished until 1975.
