Black Is The Color

Synopsis

Faced with racist caricatures, African-American painters decided to present a different image of their community than the one imposed by the degrading stereotypes of a brutally racist society.
Ignored and marginalised, they had to wait a century before they finally won recognition. This film tells the story of how African-American artists took back their image, from the abolition of slavery to the present day.
