Earlier today on MSNBC’s #MorningJoe, I sat down with Blair Underwood to discuss his latest project shedding light on the historic Black community of Black Bottom in Detroit.
Blair spoke about first learning of Black Bottom through Dominique Morisseau’s play Paradise Blue and how it disturbed him that so many of us, including himself had never heard of this thriving Black neighborhood that existed before the civil rights movement.
These stories matter, and they remind us of the strength, brilliance, and resilience of our people even under the weight of Jim Crow. We must keep telling our stories.

👀 Just thinking about how Shakespeare wrote 'Villain, I have done thy mother' & then continued about his day...
The original 'your mama' joke!

Pioneering woman director Alice Guy-Blaché was born on this day in 1873. She was one of the first filmmakers to make a narrative fiction film. Her career started in 1896 at Gaumont in Paris and brought her to NYC. Learn more via @wfpproject: wfpp.columbia.edu/pioneer/cc…

“Squid Game” increased the value of Netflix by an estimated $900 million.
It also made South Korean writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk famous — but not rich.
In his contract, he had forfeited all intellectual property rights and received no residuals. latimes.com/world-nation/sto…

This is one of the most heartwarming true stories you will read today. It has been a joy to get to know and work with the talented @FG_Artist and his family. Our check-ins were the favorite part of my day. He is going to go far! nytimes.com/2023/06/07/movie…

In my almost 101 years, while I have served other posts, I have been, at my core, a writer.
A writer who struggled and anguished to put words to paper that would provoke, create conversation, humanize us, help us see each other -- words that would matter. 1/4

SAG-AFTRA have come out to our WGA picket lines in droves! @sagaftra members voted YES in favor of authorizing a strike if a fair contract isn’t reached, and begin their own contract negotiations today. The WGA stands in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA.
