"VISUAL HERSTORY" SERIES @ MAYSLES CINEMA:

"Many African American women filmmakers often turn their lenses on other Black women as documentary subjects. These "visual herstories" position our thoughts, experiences and survival stories at the center. As films, they provide visibility to those rarely given voice in mainstream media." - Michelle Parkerson photo: Storme: Lady of the Jewel Box
