A Comparative Study Of African American Representations In Film From Original To Remake As Influenced By The Civil Rights Movement, Erica F. Berry
A Comparative Study Of African American Representations In Film From Original To Remake As Influenced By The Civil Rights Movement, Erica F. Berry
Honors College
Racial stereotypes in American films have reflected our society’s dominant ideologies and have influenced our belief systems since the film industry began. As social constructs shift and cultural norms change, so do the representations present in cinematic productions. This study is looking closely at the African American Civil Rights movement in the United States and how, and if, it correlates with changing representations and stereotypes of African Americans in film from the late 1960s to today. I begin by recognizing traditional representations of African Americans and identifying their use in two films in particular, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) …

I am writing in regard to recent episodes of the locally written comic strip, "Screwballs," that the Campus prints. The episodes that I am concerned with are the ones depicting the Wilde Stein Club members as evil, neo-Nazi monsters.

"Homophobia," the fear of homosexuality, is a major obstacle which inhibits universities from acknowledging the needs of the homosexual portion of their communities, a speaker for the Women In Curriculum program said last week.

The "Red Scare" of the fifties, when Communists were supposedly infiltrating every facet of life in the U.S., has been replaced by the "Gay Scare" of the seventies. An the ones who perpetuate the "Gay Scare" are as close-minded, misinformed and scared as the late Senator Joseph McCarthy was when he vigorously campaigned against the Community ghosts.

"Homosexuality and gay liberation are symptoms of a sexually healthy society," said activist Morty Manford at the Maine Gay Symposium here Saturday. Over 300 paying observers attended the well-organized gathering which met with no violent opposition, picketing, or demonstrations as had been feared by some UMO administrators. A team of four campus policemen guarded the affair which was sponsored by the Wilde-Stein Club, UMO's gay group.

A friend of mine commented that upon seeing the IDB movie Soldier Blue, he wondered how such a disgusting movie could be presented to the public. I had to smile at this, realizing how sheltered our minds have been protected from the truth, and how today's civilization still clings to the great American myth.

In a nation that professes tolerance we're mighty slow in doing anything that resembles tolerance. Maine failed to pass a law requiring housing to be anti-discriminatory. The nation's Senate is now embroiled in a debate that may well end in crippling amendments to a law of tolerance. And a racist polls 250,000 votes in Wisconsin. What does this all mean?
