Dates and question

The lead says 1915- and the body saus 1959 on. Which is it? Why did she feel disconnected from modern Black cinema? How did she deal with racism in past films? Did she curate those out? FloridaArmy (talk) 02:09, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Problematic statement

edit

"Cade intentionally limited the database to movies released up to 1979 because film studios heavily invested in Black cinema until the commercial failure of 1978's The Wiz?" The latter part either needa to be clarified as her opinion or removed. The studios did not invest heavily in Black cinema in the U.S. Some producers did try to exploit the market or made explootative films for white audiences. But this claim seeks outlandish to say the least. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:14, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
