Today, Aaron is joined by Dr. Amy Abugo Ongiri, film historian, Director of Ethnic Studies at the University of Portland, and author of the book: “Spectacular Blackness: The Cultural Politics of the Black Power Movement and the Search for a Black Aesthetic".


Dr. Ongiri talks to us about this shift from Civil Rights to Black Power, how The Black Panther Party effectively used the media to spread their message, and how the Black Arts Movement sought to define a distinctly black aesthetic. All of these forces would greatly affect Melvin Van Peebles during his most creative years from 1968-1971.
