As the Black Lives Matter movement continues on, Netflix is highlighting works celebrating Black lives and highlighting the racial injustices they face. As of June 10, the mega streaming platform now has a page for its Black Lives Matter category, which features a range of curated films, TV series, documentaries and stand-ups that focus on "powerful and complex narratives about the Black experience." When users log onto Netflix, before reaching the home page, they'll be greeted with a page called "More than a Moment" that directs to the 40+ movies in the Black Lives Matter collection.

"When we say 'Black Lives Matter,' we also mean 'Black storytelling matters,'" the company tweeted with the announcement on Wednesday.

The change comes as protests against police brutality carry on throughout the country (and the world), and as calls to end racism are leading eager allies to educate themselves through Black literature, cinema, art, music, and history. However, some of those efforts were misguided as legions presumably streamed The Help, so much so that the 2009 film was trending on Netflix last week. But the Oscar-nominated film has been criticized for only portraying racism in a way that alleviates white guilt. Needless to say, The Help is not on Netlix's Black Lives Matter list. But the 54 films below are are.

At the start of this book, I thought that Marlon was great. He really had his head screwed on right, he was a smart kid, a kid I could believe in... But by the end? Not so much. (This is a good thing).

Marlon's attitude, and my attitude towards him, really changed as the story progressed. And it was great. I loved slowly falling out of love with the character, I loved how he transformed from one person into another without losing what made him HIM....more

"As women, we have come to distrust that power which rises from our deepest and nonrational knowledge. We have been warned against it all our lives by the male world, which values this depth of feeling enough to keep women around in order to exercise it in the service of men, but which fears this same depth too much to examine the possibility of it within themselves. So women are maintained at a distant/inferior position to be psychically milked, much the same way ants maintain colonies of aphids to provide a life-giving substance for their masters"

"There is a distinction I am beginning to make in my living between pain and suffering. Pain is an event, an experience that must be recognized, named and then used in some way in order for the experience to change, to be transformed into something else, strength or knowledge or action.

Suffering, on the other hand, is the nightmare reliving of unscrutinized and unmetabolized pain. When I live through pain without recognizing it self-consciously, I rob myself of the power that can come from using that pain, the power to fuel some movement beyond it. I condemn myself to reliving that pain over and over and over whenever something close triggers it. And that is suffering, a seemingly inescapable cycle."

Audre Lorde's beatiful autobiography of her child- and early-adulthood. She's been prized for her "sensuality" in writing but this is no chicklit - her account of the lesbian bar scene in 1950's America will fascinate anyone interested in these forgotten pockets of culture. After reading it, what most amazed me about her was her unpretensiousness and her willingness to expose herself completely. Few writers have been so insightful when talking about themselves.

It is a wise choice as the feeling and soul truth of the book challenges our feelings of cultural superiority as we have nothing but grammar and style to defend against urgent truth with. "Grammatical education"? The women in the book would have love some as a luxury. Witness Nettie who is so happy when allowed to gain an education but Celie has been pulled out of school around age 14 and never given the time or freedom to be educated. And yet through bad grammar and functional illiteracy the story and pureness of love shine through. That is part of the exceptional art of Walker, she does not tell us about Celie's world she shows it to us in every broken sentence about an initially broken life. And then she makes it incandescent! Wise yes, because she shows us our foolish delusion of superiority in this and makes us cry. Stef Rozitis...more (less)

This is a work of fiction, not historical fiction. North and South Carolina didn't have the political structure described in the book. Whitehead is usThis is a work of fiction, not historical fiction. North and South Carolina didn't have the political structure described in the book. Whitehead is using the story of Cora's escape to get at the multitude of ways that blacks, in particular, have been dehumanized and mistreated by whites throughout the history of this country. A literal railroad is a literal representation of the darkness of the American journey for blacks and other people of color who were dispossessed and abused. One of the white characters (Lumbley?) speaks of how you can really only see American by train, but, as a white person, he has the freedom to travel without fear, with the opportunity to look out at the passing scenery and see America in all its glory and potential. As an enslaved woman who, even after escaping from her owner is never really free, Cora can't see all of that. It is only at the end, as she finally has a chance to truly be free (or as free as a black woman could be) that she can travel above ground. ...more

Another reviewer also pointed out that the mystery of who built the literal railroad, without the knowledge and under the feet of the white majority keeping slaves in bondage, is a powerful metaphor of how much slaves did for America, and how much of it is hidden.

When I started the novel, I didn't understand why the railroad was literal, but I get it now (or, it's more accurate to say, I get at least a portion of what Whitehead intended).(less)
