It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met.

“Cultural analysis is intrinsically incomplete. And, worse than that, the more deeply it goes the less complete it is.”

“As I have been paving my career as a filmmaker my parents have been there for me every step of the way. They have believed in my dreams despite how steep the mountain has been.”
