In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Can't believe we're already at season four, but here goes: It's time to talk about "Partner's Complaint," this week on Morgendorks! When the rift between Daria and Jane—you know, the one we thought was smoothed over at the end of last season—drives them to partner up with other people for an economics project, our B-Plot Gang gets some much-needed airtime. Parts of this one are stunningly relevant even twenty years later, and it's worth checking out. And for our cultural context this week, we spend some (nowhere near enough, because that podcast would never actually end) time talking about systemic racism—that rotten chunk of the societal bedrock designed specifically to make life harder and less prosperous for one entire section of the population.

Please keep the pressure on.
