快進還拉進度條翻到最後一集,直到看到黑人女航天員Danielle決定不顧指揮中心指令,堅持與蘇聯聯盟號對接才開始正常看。還有之後用槍指著Ed腦袋要他放棄向蘇聯飛船發射導彈的女航天員Sally。演了兩季了終於有倆角色的行動能扣一下題了,艾瑪呀…其他都是什麼鬼,甚至包括犧牲的Tracy/Gordo前夫妻倆,幾乎所有困難都是美國自己心胸狹窄造成的後果,還有就是一個又一個披著航天探索大旗滿足個人私慾的虛偽和兒戲。全程內心吶喊"你們這個片名是不是少了一個問號+感歎號?!"。當然也可以說是和真實世界的美國或者官僚是一樣的,但對後腳就對英雄主義唱讚歌就完全看不出對此的批判。好吧,這也是和現實是一樣的。難道這之前都是在為這一季結尾的轉折做鋪墊嗎?那我只能說鋪墊得真好真自然真真實,這麼勸退!看在最後喊出了Women, especially Black Women, Save the World,而且NASA所有重要崗位都已經換成了女性的份上加一星,再堅持倍速拉一下第三季。

The Port Chicago 50 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Sheinkin, Steve Roaring Brook Press 2014 - 1
An astonishing civil rights story from Newbery Honor winner and National Book Award finalist Steve Sheinkin.

On July 17, 1944, a massive explosion rocked the segregated Navy base at Port Chicago, California, killing more than 300 sailors who were at the docks, critically injuring off-duty men in their bunks, and shattering windows up to a mile away. On August 9th, 244 men refused to go back to work until unsafe and unfair conditions at the docks were addressed. When the dust settled, fifty were charged with mutiny, facing decades in jail and even execution. This is a fascinating story of the prejudice that faced black men and women in America's armed forces during World War II, and a nuanced look at those who gave their lives in service of a country where they lacked the most basic rights.

Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom Goodreads
作者: David W. Blight Simon Schuster Audio 2018 - 10
As a young man, Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland. He was fortunate to have been taught to read by his slave owner mistress, and he would go on to become one of the major literary figures of his time. His very existence gave the lie to slave owners: with dignity and great intelligence he bore witness to the brutality of slavery.

Initially mentored by William Lloyd Garrison, Douglass spoke widely, using his own story to condemn slavery. By the Civil War, Douglass had become the most famed and widely travelled orator in the nation. In his unique and eloquent voice, written and spoken, Douglass was a fierce critic of the United States as well as a radical patriot. After the war he sometimes argued politically with younger African Americans, but he never forsook either the Republican party or the cause of black civil and political rights.

In this biography, David Blight has drawn on new information held in a private collection that few other historian have consulted, as well as recently discovered issues of Douglass’s newspapers.

Emancipation
6.7 (20 个评分) 导演: 安东尼·福奎阿 演员: 威尔·史密斯 / 本·福斯特
其它标题: Emancipation / 自由路上
威尔·史密斯饰演真实历史人物:饱受折磨后逃出美国南方奴隶主奴役的黑人彼得、美国奴隶制的著名“证据”照片的主人公。
影片风格被描述为比起《为奴十二年》,更像梅尔·吉布森执导的《启示录》,Willam N. Collage写剧本,故事来自彼得的真实经历:他从奴隶主手中逃出,忍受着冷血的猎人的追杀和路易斯安那州危险的沼泽,一路向北。而当逃到北方军中,接受检查时,彼得露出了自己被种植园中的监工鞭笞得累累伤痕的后背。这一幕被拍成了著名的照片“被鞭打的脊背”(the scourged back),刊登在1863年5月的《Independent》,以及当年7月4日的《Harper’s Weekly》。该照片成为美国奴隶制残忍暴行的证据之一,发布后推动了废奴运动和促使许多自由的黑人加入联邦军,并流传到世界各地,传言称这张照片使得法国等国家拒绝从美国南方购买棉花。

Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power (2022) 豆瓣
导演: Sam Pollard / Geeta Gandbhir
In 1960, Lowndes County, AL--despite being 80% Black--had zero registered Black voters. This film chronicles the courageous men and women, famous and unknown, who put their lives on the line to secure the right to vote for everyone. The story here is told by the Black and white people who were there at the time, including grassroots organizers and citizens content with the status quo, who share their personal anecdotes of that tumultuous time, lending an uncommon intimacy and authenticity to this historical documentary. Against a backdrop of blatant and brutal violence against freedom fighters, a young Stokely Carmichael brings passion to the crusade, and we witness the evolution of the SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) into a powerful force on the frontlines, fanning the cause outward throughout the South.
Celebrated documentarians and Tribeca alums Sam Pollard and Geeta Gandbhir expertly weave rarely seen archival footage and first-person testimony to create a solid sense of place and capture the high-stakes tension on the ground. Through their expert direction emerges an intimate, insightful snapshot of this seminal moment in the quest for Civil Rights, a film whose relation to the current assault on the right to vote makes it urgently relevant.--Karen McMullen

From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century Goodreads
From Here to Equality
作者: William A. Darity Jr. / A. Kirsten Mullen
Racism and discrimination have choked economic opportunity for African Americans at nearly every turn. At several historic moments, the trajectory of racial inequality could have been altered dramatically. Perhaps no moment was more opportune than the early days of Reconstruction, when the U.S. government temporarily implemented a major redistribution of land from former slaveholders to the newly emancipated enslaved. But neither Reconstruction nor the New Deal nor the civil rights struggle led to an economically just and fair nation. Today, systematic inequality persists in the form of housing discrimination, unequal education, police brutality, mass incarceration, employment discrimination, and massive wealth and opportunity gaps. Economic data indicates that for every dollar the average white household holds in wealth the average black household possesses a mere ten cents.
In
, William Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen confront these injustices head-on and make the most comprehensive case to date for economic reparations for U.S. descendants of slavery. After opening the book with a stark assessment of the intergenerational effects of white supremacy on black economic well-being, Darity and Mullen look to both the past and the present to measure the inequalities borne of slavery. Using innovative methods that link monetary values to historical wrongs, they next assess the literal and figurative costs of justice denied in the 155 years since the end of the Civil War. Finally, Darity and Mullen offer a detailed roadmap for an effective reparations program, including a substantial payment to each documented U.S. black descendant of slavery. Taken individually, any one of the three eras of injustice outlined by Darity and Mullen--slavery, Jim Crow, and modern-day discrimination--makes a powerful case for black reparations. Taken collectively, they are impossible to ignore.

導論類。名副其實,太美了。每一個篇章展開又是好多好多抗爭歷史。從發展、分化、激進、反思、重組等等方面介紹了這段激動人心的歷史。原來現在還在熱議的話題、表述、策略等等都是從那裡來的。和其他革命一樣,所有這些都不是掌權者誰開明、誰睿智、誰誤打誤撞、誰打錯了算盤而得來的,跟這些首腦領袖都沒有關係。這都是一個個普通人做自己能做的,形成的合力的結果。是屬於自己的成就。作為個體或許會氣餒、失望、難過,沒關係的,因為作為一個集合,必然不會被這樣被擊敗的。這部電影就是證據。
哼!不愧是“燈塔國”,原來“女權=境外勢力”也不是窪地原創呢,又失去一項自主知識產權。

The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story Goodreads
The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story
作者: Nikole Hannah-Jones Penguin Random House Audio Publishing Group 2021 - 11
A dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present.

In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country’s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States.

The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story builds on one of the most consequential journalistic events of recent years: The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning “1619 Project,” which reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on the original 1619 Project, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself. This legacy can be seen in the way we tell stories, the way we teach our children, and the way we remember. Together, the elements of the book reveal a new origin story for the United States, one that helps explain not only the persistence of anti-Black racism and inequality in American life today, but also the roots of what makes the country unique.

The book also features a significant elaboration of the original project’s Pulitzer Prize–winning lead essay, by Nikole Hannah-Jones, on how the struggles of Black Americans have expanded democracy for all Americans, as well as two original pieces from Hannah-Jones, one of which makes a profound case for reparative solutions to this legacy of injustice.

This is a book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction—and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.

Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches Goodreads
Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches
作者: Audre Lorde Tantor Audio 2016 - 4
A collection of fifteen essays written between 1976 and 1984 gives clear voice to Audre Lorde's literary and philosophical personae. These essays explore and illuminate the roots of Lorde's intellectual development and her deep-seated and longstanding concerns about ways of increasing empowerment among minority women writers and the absolute necessity to explicate the concept of difference—difference according to sex, race, and economic status. The title Sister Outsider finds its source in her poetry collection The Black Unicorn (1978). These poems and the essays in Sister Outsider stress Lorde's oft-stated theme of continuity, particularly of the geographical and intellectual link between Dahomey, Africa, and her emerging self.

An African American and Latinx History of the United States Goodreads
An African American and Latinx History of the United States
作者: Paul Ortiz Beacon Press 2018 - 1
Spanning more than two hundred years,
is a revolutionary, politically charged revisionist history, arguing that Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa—otherwise known as "The Global South"—were crucial to the development of America as we know it. Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress, as exalted by widely-taught formulations like "Manifest Destiny" and "Jacksonian Democracy," and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms American history into one of the working class organizing themselves against imperialism.
In precise detail, Ortiz traces this untold history from the Jim Crow-esque racial segregation of the Southwest, the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the 20th century, to May 1, 2006, International Workers' Day, when migrant laborers—Chicana/os, Afrocubanos, and immigrants from every continent on earth—united in the first "Day Without Immigrants" to prove the value of their labor.
Incisive and timely,
is a bottom-up history told from the viewpoint of African American and Latinx activists revealing the radically different ways that brown and black people of the diaspora addressed issues plaguing the United States today.
