The Black Cinema Series at The Little Theatre continues this month with the documentary, The Rape of Recy Taylor. Oprah recently mentioned Taylor’s name during her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, saying Taylor never got justice after she was raped by six white men. Taylor’s case – and others like hers – helped spark the civil rights movement.
We discuss Taylor’s legacy, race relations in 2018, and issues surrounding sexual assault. In studio:
- Kevin Hicks, journalist and vice president for print for the RABJ
- Allison O'Malley, chief executive officer of RESOLVE
- Moiet James, development administrative assistant for WXXI, co-coordinator for the Black Cinema Series, and member of the RABJ
- Ericka Wilson, producer for WHEC-TV, co-coordinator for the Black Cinema Series, and member of the RABJ
