How one documentary reframes the history of Black women

How one documentary reframes the history of Black women CNN 3/1/2021 By Leah Asmelash, CNN © Courtesy Domino Powell Oge Egbuonu s documentary, (In)visible Portraits, is a love letter to Black women, she told CNN. Black women are the mules of the world, Zora Neale Hurston wrote in 1937. More than 80 years later, Hurston s words in Their Eyes Were Watching God still ring true, but one filmmaker is on a journey to both expose that truth and alleviate it. Oge Egbuonu s new documentary, (In)visible Portraits, is what she calls a love letter to Black women, and a reeducation for everyone else. The 90-minute feature, set to premiere on Oprah Winfrey s OWN on March 2, reexamines the history of Black women in the United States, calling into question long-held myths about them while, at the same time, affirming Black women as seen, heard and valued.

Pitkin County Library invites community to Read Wider

The Pitkin County Library launched its new Read Wider program this month, aiming to build empathy through curated books, movies and music that might help local readers walk some miles in other peoples’ shoes. Building from the “own voices” movement, the monthly program will focus on stories told about the experiences of diverse communities by their members. February’s Read Wider is inspired by Black History Month. The library recently released voluminous resource lists online for reading, listening and viewing as well as interactive tools and virtual discussions on Zoom. The library has Read Wider programs planned through November, which will honor Native American Heritage Month. In between, the series will highlight women’s history, Arab Americans, Jewish Americans, Asian American and Pacific Islanders, LGBTQ stories, immigrants and refugees, Hispanic heritage and people with disabilities.
