A tribute to documentary filmmaker St. Clair Bourne (1943-2007), who died last December. During his 36-year career, Bourne made more than 40 films that provide a priceless record of American Black culture. The program will begin with a short 5 minute video, A TRIBUTE TO ST. CLAIR edited by Nonso Christian Ugbode featuring excerpts from a few of Bourne's films. It will be followed by his classic early work examining the role of the Black church, LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN (67 minutes, 1973) and the monumental biography PAUL ROBESON: HERE I STAND (118 minutes, 1999)
NOTICE: There will not be a panel discussion.
