Ellis like documentaries. Ellis like documentaries about comic books. Ellis like documentaries about black masculinaty in comic books and how they affect popular culture. So needless to say I wet myself when I stumbled on blackherodoc's youtube channel and watched all the clips for the documentary SHAFT OR SIDNEY POITIER:
The Emergence of Black Masculinity in Comic Books (working title). Jonathan Gayles, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of African-American Studies at Georgia State University, shot a fantastic (from what I saw) documentary that made me truly think about what weight being black or having a the experience of a black guy has on comic books. The late great Dwyane McDuffie, along with Yumy Odom, Guy Sims, Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua, and many more intellegent minds disecting this untouched topic. Check out a clip/trailer for this documentary.
