Black Lenses, Black Voices

There were a lot of things in Mark Reid's book Black Lenses, Black Voices that I found important. However, I think the most meaningful concept was just about how hard Black directors, cinematographers and writers have have to try just to be put on the same level as other directors, cinematographers and writers that don't share the same race.

Now, I know that there are very famous Black directors, but there are obviously a lot more White directors that have had more success and fame for doing the same job. It also took many, many years for Black directors to gain recognition for their achievements.
