Documenting the Black Experience
History taught at the elementary, middle, high school and even college levels often excludes significant events from African American history, such as the murder of Emmett Till or the murder of four black girls by the Ku Klux Klan in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham. Such events are integral parts of history that continue to inform America's racial politics. Their exclusion is a problem that this work addresses by bringing more visibility to documentary films focusing on the events. Books treating the history of documentary films follow a similar pattern, omitting the efforts of filmmakers who have continued to focus on African American history. This book works to make documentary discourse more complete, bringing attention to films that cover the African American experience in four areas--civil rights, sports, electronic media, and the contemporary black struggle--demonstrating how the issues continue to inform America's racial politics.

Number 23 and Me
This is not just a sports story. This is not just a political story, nor is this just a pop culture story. This is a story about a script written in 1984 about a star baller, who cares deeply about his community, has no father in the home, with the last name James who skipped college and went straight to the pros just like Lebron James. I believe and will testify to all facts herein. I believe that this is a prophetic message to our nation sent 35 years ago from God for today. Lace-up your Nike's as we take a 35 year journey starting in 1984, the greatest year in NBA off-court history. Michael Jordan was drafted. Lebron was born in Akron, Ohio, and a Stern new commissioner named David stepped up to the plate. The story timelines MJ's career, Lebron's life, and the NBA, quilted together with pop culture, politics, and the life of the young Scribe (writer) who copyrighted the script when he was 23 years old. We end the timeline in 2018. We, then, shoot forward 23 years with a bold prediction of America's future around the season 2040-2041, and now, We Are All Witnesses!
