Photojournalist Steve Schapiro has passed away. He was important to the movement. He photographed the March on Washington and Selma to Montgomery march. His images moved minds during a crucial time. This is my favorite photo by him of Dr. King. May they both rest in peace now.
A good read by @adatseng .
Ten years ago today, a jury with the great Lynn Shelton, Amy Vincent, Anthony Mackie, Justin Lin and Cliff Martinez gave me the Best Director Award at @sundancefest . Next day, I decided to leave my job to be a full-time filmmaker. The ten years has been beyond a dream. Beyond. 🙏🏾

Did you know that in the mid-2000s Venus Williams battled Wimbledon for women to have equal prize money as male players? She even lobbied British Parliament. She won. In 2013, I made a doc about her quiet activism called VENUS VS. Think it’s on @hulu now.

Thank you to of and many others who identified the proud Native man who is being harassed. He is Mr. Nathan Phillips. I’m reposting this video from “ka_ya11” on IG. This man’s words pierce my heart. The grace. The wisdom. The hope.
A heartbreaker. Next week’s @NewYorker cover by the great @KadirNelson .
Basically half of all white folks. This is where we are. After all that we’ve been through. Whiteness over democracy. Whiteness over safety. Whiteness over justice. That is what these numbers mean. 49%. smh
