The Not So Silver Screen: Black Women in Media

Subscribe to the Hammer Museum's channel:    / @hammermuseumlosangeles   The widespread coverage of race and gender inequality in Hollywood often excludes black women. The wage gap for black women in the entertainment industry is a symptom of a larger issue: the invisibility and devaluing of black women in media culture as performers, producers, and directors. Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw moderates a panel that explores this narrative alongside solutions to promote black women as creators. Panelists: legendary actress Diahann Carroll; stage and soap actress Tonya Pinkins; film, television, and theater actress and director LisaGay Hamilton; veteran Hollywood casting director Tracy "Twinkie" Byrd; April Reign, #OscarsSoWhite creator and the founder and editor of BroadwayBlack.com; University of Alabama professor Kristen Warner, who studies race, representation, and the media; and writer and director Gina Prince-Bythewood. https://hammer.ucla.edu/programs-even...
