[lbo-talk] John Henrik Clarke film

[Jenny Brown]

For those of you in NYC, I've seen this documentary twice and it is 
great, very cool, well worth spending part of Valentine's night on.  And 
timely in tribute to the filmmaker, St. Clair Bourne, who died in 
December at age 64.  Another miserable loss.

Kwabena-Wilson, plus a special jazz jam session dedicated to Dr. Clarke.
Both a biography of Clarke himself and an overview of 5,000 years of 
African history, the film offers a provocative look at the past through 
the eyes of a leading proponent of an Afro-centric view of history...
