Black Film Archive  is a living register of Black films  

Black Film Archive celebrates the rich, abundant history of Black cinema. We are an evolving archive dedicated to making historically and culturally significant films made from 1915 to 1979 about Black people accessible through a streaming guide with cultural context.  

This awesome project is run and was created by Maya S. Cade

“For the past year, I’ve spent most of my time pondering one question: What does it mean to make Black film history accessible? Today, I’m proud to launch Black Film Archive, an evolving project that serves as my current response to this expansive question.“

Sometimes, the people who impact their communities most are the ones who don’t step into the limelight. It’s an inspiration to the shyer among us (cough, cough) how many ways there are to make an impact.

Many more people should know about these amazing revolutionaries.

I wish I could get in a room with the medieval patronesses of books. I feel like their experience would be so interesting.

How does anyone do as much as Sophie Redmond did in one lifetime? She cared for her community, tried to make circumstances better and wrote plays that elevated their experience.

Black Archives Icons: Anton de Kom

Anton de Kom was a writer who revolutionized how the history of Suriname and the Netherlands was taught. He then became a fallen hero of the Dutch Resistance.

Black Archives Icons  Do you know the stories behind the defaced portraits?

I was saddened to see the images of the vandalized mural on The Black Archives in Amsterdam. In addition to the intention of the act and the beauty of the art that was destroyed, it’s sad because the people in those portraits are the kind of heroes who can create a peaceful and just society. I think more people should know their stories, so I’ll be posting every week on Medium and socials under #BlackArchivesIcons and telling them on #damdaily Thursday mornings on Broadcast Amsterdam. I’ll start this Thursday with Anton de Kom.
