This video taught me a lot about the origins of traditionally black names and their meanings

Some forms of discrimination were less direct, like bribing black people to not live in certain houses that were in certain neighborhoods. This also happened on smaller occasions, like with banks.

Black Artists

A lot of black artists were recognized after they had died or stopped working on art as their main occupation. But it isn't because they were misunderstood, but because they usually weren't given the chance, or were discriminated against, like not being able to join or do certain things.

i think that a lot of the artists were just as good pr even better than a lot of famous white artists, and i didnt know about any of these black artists. i think its not a good think that this has happened and that the erasure of POC needs to be stopped

Something that stood out at me from this film was that some people opposed Kara Walker's art because it "supported stereotypes of black people". This film was also very eye opening, as I realized I had'nt heard of many of these artists. I would like to look into more POC artists, as well as women and LGBTQ+. I feel that many of the artists that are known today are all white men.

Something that stood out to me was the story about when they spoke about the child that ran around with the airsoft gun without a tip.

most of the artist work had a shared theme of them using their experience of being black and incorporating that into their work

Why were black people facing discrimination when they were making inventions to make everyday life easier?
I learned that names are how the world perceives us.
I wonder how Gordon Parks was able to work a camera with no knowledge at all about it.

I learned about multiple well accomplished Black artists and  how many of them have been so inspirational but we havent heard anything about them.

I thought it was really interesting to hear the story of a black actress' background. It was honest, and shed light on the industry, as well as the struggles of being a black woman at that time. Also, it was interesting to hear about mental health issues, as they were not talked about as much at that time.

I thought it was very interesting to learn about Dorothy Dandridge's fully story; her highest points of success, her lowest points and her biggest challenges. I think it was important to get a full understanding of her story because it shed light onto both the industry at the time and also how much of an impact racism has on things that to us just seem like "entertainment" (but are really someone's career too).

I learned that the parents of the black community have to give this extra lesson to their children just to keep them safe and protected from the police who are here specifically to do that.

this film highlighted the struggle she had with mental illness and drugs as her coping. and how the industry didn't look beyond her acting.

I learned about how makeup products weren't inclusive until very recently, and only some stores sold the right shades.

Makeup only started to include more shades in the 30s-40s, and even then, there was a lot of racist advertising for makeup/skincare products.

I think it's important for people to see not only the violence against people of color from police, but also the reactions after and how people try to cover it up or make excuses.

# data[].attributes.body
something that stood out to me was how fast the situations escalated.

# data[].attributes.body
I already knew about the concept of the talk, but this documentary helped me learn more. The incidents of police brutality stood out to me the most.

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting that the video showcases different types of art, not just painting, but also sculpture and silhouetting.

The only artists on the list that I had heard about were Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kara Walker, which shows that we aren't really taught about black artists.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about a lot of very accomplished black artists and what the challenges they faced were and how they were impacted by them. I think that it is important to look closely at these accomplished artists because at least for me, I tend to forget that art is both something for viewers but is also a job for someone else and I think remembering that is important because not only were they trying to pursue a dream but they devoted their lives to this and with that came a lot of challenges that were unfair and solely based off of something they could not control.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that there are so many black artists that have their own unique styles of art. I didn't think that it was fair that I have never heard of any of them whenever I went to the museums but now they are starting to get the recognition that they deserve.

one thing that surprised me was the footage of Tamir Rice because I knew the cop shot him without assessing the situation properly but I had never actually seen the footage before and I was really surprised to see how quickly he shot him

I learned how certain products have skin brightening chemicals in them.
I also learned how "Black-sounding" names are actually inspired by French words and other places.

In the documentary that we just watched, there was a white man who said the n word -- a new documentary will hopefully avoid that and use better and more appropriate language (a black man can say it, of course, but no matter what, a white person should never say it)

# data[].attributes.body
I learned a lot about biases in makeup, styles, and names and I also learned about how

# data[].attributes.body
A more current documentary about Greenwood will bring new publicity to the event -- LeBron is a popular person and people will watch the documentary just because he is in it

One of the reasons I liked this video was because it covered how much censorship media causes. I also liked it because it did talked about how it changed the family which not all things do. -Amy

In school, we never really talked about some other things that happened/ were affects of the Jim Crow era. I never really was told about how housing discrimination came to be. I also did no know that red lining was such a big issue. Red lining exists in DC too which is crazy to see in person what I wouldn't normally have payed attention to.

I have learned "The Talk" is a universal thing in the black community. I have been incredibly privileged to not have to recieve that talk. I also learned that police brutality is much more common than I thought.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about black visual artists and their achievements over the years. Whether it was Jean Basquiat in the 80s, or Gordon Parks

# data[].attributes.body
I learned a lot about Dorothy Dandridge from the documentary. I learned about how successful she was and how she got there, and about the challenges she faced as a black woman. It was interesting to learn about her story and everything she went through.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about a lot of artists I didn't even know existed. I think I only knew 2 or 3 of the artists. it was really interesting to see the work of the artists I hadn't heard of

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that there where many great black artists who weren't really recognized because of discrimination

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was interesting that many black artists had put out their hard work and even were criticized on it but continued to make sculptures and produce art that represented their indentities.

I learned that there was a booming African American economy that got destroyed by racists. I had never heard of Greenwood before watching that video

# data[].attributes.body
I learned a lot about makeup and its history in African American culture and expanded my knowledge.

Black Wall Street was a place in Tulsa, Oklahoma where black business and people thrived during the time of segregation. It was burned to the ground by white people on May 31st, 1921. They self sabotaged themselves in a way by ruining the economy. The economy was where it was because of how well Greenwood was doing. The state also refused to help repair the town.

I have previously saw the report of the police that shot Tamir Rice. But through this documentary it was my first time seeing footage.

# data[].attributes.body
I was able to learn about the life of a prominent black actress in that time, and the dangers of hollywood life as a young black woman then and now. It helped me realize the flaws in our entertainment systems and its discriminations.

# data[].attributes.body
i learned about black artist that i've never heard of that also have lots of different mediums.

# data[].attributes.body
Before watching that video, I didn't know that the police officers were giving any white person the power to arrest people.

# data[].attributes.body
I was shocked that a white man in the documentary was allowed to say the n-word. Even if it was for historical purposes he should not have said it. I think what made it even worse was that he didn't even look uncomfortable and he could have easily just said the n-word instead of the word itself.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked this video because it stood out to me in a way that was somewhat relatable, as I've had this talk before with my parents personally.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that some "black sounding" names are actually French, and that ideas of beauty have changed a lot

# data[].attributes.body
I've heard the name Basquiat many times, and I was certain that he was an artist, but I had no idea he was a POC. Having done some more digging into his art I find it very cool and unique. I love the abstract people and how shapes and colors that don't mimic anything, can still make you feel different emotions

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that all of these black artists were really talented and made really good art/pictures. I had never heard about any of them before and I really think that they should get more recognition.

# data[].attributes.headline
I would like there to be a more current version of these events, seen through the eyes of today. For example, I think they should call it a massacre instead of a “race riot”. Also, the reason it started was not because a spark started it, it was because of white peoples’ jealousy.

I learned that there was an all black community that was thriving. I thought it was weird that I have never heard of it because it seemed like a very important part of American history.

This video really opened my eyes to the fact that all these incredibly talented people are not recieving the recognition they deserve because they are black.

I learned from both Say It Loud and the black excellist, that there was a lot of brilliance behind black inventions and art created by people I'd never heard of. it made me feel dismayed that I hadn't learnt of them before and how their work was generally unheard of at times.

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting to learn about these artists, especially since I have seen some of there pieces but have never seen the person behind them.

i learned the severity that police had with black boys

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that this was the biggest race riot and that people would burn down neighborhoods

# data[].attributes.body
It is disturbing the effectiveness and the passion that racism proliferated in these places. I shudder to think why these people think it was good to ban black people from owning homes in certain areas, where does this extreme hate come from. I hope in this age we are able to move past the walls constructed by these villans of the past .

I have heard of Tamir Rice's death but I noticed that the police officer shot him without thinking twice and seemed to do it mindlessly.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that there was significant segregation in the north and that they were very separated there. The Supreme Court also deemed it constitutional which surprised me a lot. I also learned that the housing discrimination and the loan discrimination was the most prominent.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that parents of black children have to give a extra talk about how to act in general, but mostly around police officers.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of discrimination that happened and in many cases continues to happen in the US is not more obvious things such as segregation laws in the south, but racial discrimination in housing, something that has led to the impacts of racism on the north being firmly established.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting and sad that so many African-American artists go unreconized.  Morever, this relates to what I watched on Thursday because so many struggles that people of color have to go through go unoticed.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know how fast these situations can escalate. I also did not know the talk was not only common in black communities but also hispanic and latino communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that really stood out to me while watching the documentary was how the families were affected by police brutality, they lost their own family members and a lot of the time society just forgot about the awful things that happened.

# data[].attributes.body
I have not heard of many of these artists, showing that they often ae not recognized for their achievements.

# data[].attributes.body
black artist were not as well preserved into history.  not because there weren't any but because of there race it was harder to make it to such a large scale.  it was also cool to see the diffrent types of art because I had seen some of the work but didnt know about the artist
