Ikhide, thanks for posting this. I will watch this film, as I'm currently working on an article for a journal on the subject. I'll also alert my African American colleague who teaches on the subject and who has invited me to her class to speak on it in the past.

While about half of the school's students share a skin color — some of them identifying as African, some of them as African American, they don't necessarily share a culture."- IkhideStalk my blog at http://www.xokigbo.com/Follow me on Twitter: @ikhideJoin me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ikhide
