peace to Marlon Riggs (r.i.p.) an Oakland-based documentary filmmaker born and raised in Texas. i love his movies especially Ethnic Notions, Color Adjustment, Tongues Untied, and Black Is... Black Ain’t. ⁣ ⁣ i highly recommend you watch his work if you like vulnerability, courage, and want to understand entertainment’s anti-black foundations. ⁣ ⁣ (i found them for free on @kanopy with my library card)⁣ ⁣ #marlonriggs https://www.instagram.com/p/CBamPM6JAJg/?igshid=xsv7uev0476z
