- The late Henry Hampton is the subject of our cover story, "An Eye for the PRIZE." Hampton built his
life on exposing the beauty and foibles of the African-American experience.
"I'll Make Me A World," the latest in a string of his documentaries
that include the landmark series "Eyes on the Prize," examines
black life in America through fine art. Wanda S. Franklin's feature on
Hampton's legacy is a must read.
- "An Indispensable Heritage" shows how historically black
colleges and universities, such as Hampton and North Carolina Central,
foster more than students' careers. The schools also maintain treasure
troves of art.
- Express your point of view about "The Black Press: Soldiers Without
Swords" and the continuing need for an outspoken advocacy press. "Having Our Say" looks at this black
press documentary that highlights a history nearly forgotten.
- P. H. Polk's photographs are not widely known either. Check out the
work in "The Way We Were." You're guaranteed to find the style
unforgettable.
