SCHOOL DAZE, HAIR DAZE: 30 YEARS OF PROGRESSION OR REGRESSION?

SCHOOL DAZE, HAIR DAZE: 30 YEARS OF PROGRESSION OR REGRESSION?

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Spike Lee’s movie, School Daze. I was in high school (I’m dating myself), when this movie came out, and I fell in love with it immediately. Not just because my homegirl, Cassie Davis, from the House of Payne and the Paynes debuted in it, but the depiction of black college life felt so natural and real to me. This movie, along with A Different World, helped me make my decision to attend, Southern University and A&M College, an HBCU.

THE BEAUTY THAT BLACK PANTHER HAS INSPIRED

THE BEAUTY THAT BLACK PANTHER HAS INSPIRED

For a little more than a year, Black theatergoers eagerly anticipated the release of Black Panther. This February, when it finally premiered, the film did not disappoint. Featuring a predominantly Black production crew and cast, the film broke ticket pre-sale and opening weekend box office records. To date, the movie has made $700 million in a mere two weeks and will likely reach the billion dollar mark in another week’s time.
