I think one thing that really stood out to me was the way the film didn't just address how police brutality affects the black community but also how it affects other non-black POC communities. This made me want to do more research and dive deeper into how exactly police brutality negatively impacts other POC communities.

In the Say It Loud videos we learned about the evolution of black beauty and we also watched a video on black sounding names and the history behind them that revealed even though people may have thought that they sound black they are actually not and far from that. With the evolution of black beauty video  we learned about head wraps and skincare and more.

I thought it was really cool how some of the artists were educated in artistry in their life. This stood out to me. I learned about Jean Michel Basquiat. I really liked his art and I was sad to hear about his short life. I wondered why I hadn't heard about these artists before. This video showed me how black artists made their art known despite their challenges.

I found it interesting how all these black artists portrayed the black struggle so differently throughout each different time period. Some of the artists were sculptors or painters or photographers and even within their different sectors of visual art, they all kind of had their own way of portraying their topics and what they mean to them.

I found this film really interesting because I learned how art can be used as a platform for black people to voice their opinions. When society tries to keep your voice from being heard, art can be used as an outlet to voice those opinions.

Something that stood out to me in the documentary was how deeply ingrained discrimination and racism was (and still is) into every part of society. There were of course obvious examples of racism present in society, but there were also policies and laws that upheld racism and oppression. The fact that even housing laws had prejudice shows that any aspect of society could be affected by racism, even the ones that we don't think about.

Horace pippin, self taught painter known for depictions of black experience, Was unable to use his right arm after being shot in the back in War, metropolitan museum of arm

I just wonder about what the general timing of all of these artists are.

It helps me get a better understanding of more of a meaning behind racism  because these artist portrayed it in art many different ways.

This documentary interested me due to the title, the Jim Crow laws were terrible but there's this ideology that everything was better and more equal in the North. This documentary proved that it wasn't always the case, segregation and racism was all over the US, no matter where you went not everyone was treated equally.

What shocked me most about this video was a section of a Black female artist who focused all of her designs on slavery. When they were talking about the art critics she has received, one of them actually made me frustrated. The claim that one of the art critics made on her work was focusing mainly on how white people would feel of the piece and not thinking about how the concept of the art is part of Black history and not "white history".

One thing that stood out to me was the interviews with the parents of children who had been killed due to police brutality. They highlighted two so far in the movie. The mother of Tamir Rice and the parents of Oscar Grant It must have been very very difficult for them to relive the horrors of their children deaths. When I was watching I could see how much pain they felt, and how their communities struggled, but put so much effort into helping change the unjust atmosphere around them. I thought that the movie really conveyed the message that difficult and emotional conversations have to be held. I thought that the parents were willing to be in the movie because they knew their children's stories had to be told. I thought it made the movie even more impactful because of all the emotion.

One thing that stood out to me is I had never heard of Dorothy Dandridge before watching this documentary.  I saw a lot of connections to the Netflix show Hollywood, but her story was something that I hadn't heard of.  It makes me think of all the stories we hear about white struggling actors, and how those stories are remade constantly into culture and tv shows, but this story has not permeated culture the same way.  There is a new documentary on HBO about Dorothy Dandridge that I plan on watching.

Something that stood out to me was how Black visual artists were able to use different mechanics and styles of painting in order to drag a point across. For example photographers were able to take strong and meaningful photos to illustrate the pain and strife of black Americans. Various artists used historical elements in their work to express contemporary Black problems. They also depicted African American life through colors shapes and lines which I thought was very abstract.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting how art can be used in the black community, to not only convey ideas of struggle and resistance, but to capture in depth the feeling, reality, beauty, and pain that comes along with being black in this world. It reflects upon life and societal standards and stereotypes thrown onto us, while speaking truth to what it's really like to be black in America and many other places. It's a creative form of expression that is important, as not all people have the platform to share their message verbally, and I think it resonates with the viewer in a different way.

I thought that it was very interesting helpful how they included actual footage of shootings or incidents that happened so that we could view from the perspective of those who were suffering from police brutality because a lot of sources usually only show the side of the police which does not give the full picture.

In this video, I saw how at the time, when racism was still super obvious and apparent, such a small action which was a simple mistake (man tripping into woman on elevator), sparked unjust and very unnecessary actions by racist white men in Tulsa. I learned that when a shot was accidentally fired, a huge brawl started, and that sparked the riot where thousands of homes were burned down and many people lost their lives. This shows us how far we have come as a society in regards to race, and even though there are more issues that need to be addressed, compared to 100 years ago, we are doing pretty well.

# data[].attributes.body
By watching this documentary I have gathered a more clear understand of how things worked back then. It became more clear to understand that an incident caused by a Black male and a White women can break out into a whole chaotic group of 1000 angry white men threatening to kill a black man only because the white women accused him of sexual assault, with out providing any evidence to back up her accusations.

In both films, the Black community overcame so much adversity to create something incredible. Building Black Wallstreet against all odds was amazing in itself. The fact that so many amazing Black artists still created incredibly art despite so much discrimination is also incredible. They really persevered. But in the case of Greenwood, determination and grit couldn't beat a race riot, or what should categorized as a massacre.
