In the 60s and 70s Westerns were the blockbusters of the day. Many such movies ignored the actual history of African-American cowboys and 'girls' but some films did reflect that 25% of them were black. In this interactive, audio-visual presentation, we will cover:
- Real black superheroes of the Wild West
- Black female gunslingers
- The Western effect in the Caribbean and Africa
- Whitewashed westerns
- Black action stars past to present
- Civil Rights in cinema, hidden messages
NB. DUE to Coronavirus this event will now be delivered online via Zoom. The link will be sent to your email after you register.
