Database Trial: Black Studies in Video

Black Studies in Video is part of Alexander Street featuring documentaries, newsreels, interviews and archival footage surveying the evolution of black culture in the United States. In partnership with California Newsreel, the database provides access to their African American Classics collection, and includes films covering history, politics, art and culture, family structure, social and economic pressures, and gender relations. The collection of videos ranges from 1950 to date and provides running transcripts.  If you create a free Alexander Street account, you can add bookmarks and create clips of videos, as well as make playlists. Check it out before our trial ends on November 20, 2016.
