Movie Reviews of Melvin Van Peebles' Classified X

Movie Review: Good video for my class
Summary: 5 Stars

Here is one of two presentations that I show to my class every year following a discussion on stereotypes. This is a no BS presentation that shows how images have been maniupulated through the decades of film.
I finally bought the DVD so it could be stopped and discussed. Since I teach African American History all year round instead of just during February, this video is one that I always have available. My suggestion is to also find a copy of the Bill Cosby video "Black History: Lost, Stolen, Strayed" if you can and show or watch right before this one.

Summary of Melvin Van Peebles' Classified X

Classified X examines the treatment of black characters throughout the history of American cinema. With candor and wit, Melvin Van Peebles explores the institutionalization of racism in Hollywood.
