I wonder if the studio setting is part of the issue, because during the pandemic I loved her intros from her amazing home library. I used to pause the video just to read the titles behind her.

I think Jacqueline Stewart is at her best as a commentor in documentary format. She gets to present her composed, complex responses as complete thoughts in a fluid, natural way. Same as an interviewer. She's a little stiffer as a presenter reading from a script.

Black activists pleaded for the movie to be banned Instead it was screened at the #WhiteHouse for the president & the #SupremeCourt
#OscarMicheaux created a new cinematic vision directly aimed at Birth Of A Nation. His film Within Our Gates portrayed Black characters that emphasized our humanity
