Join us for Black on Screen: Films by William Greaves a celebration of the life and legacy of the pioneering late American filmmaker, William Greaves. Throughout his influential career, the Harlem-born documentary filmmaker was instrumental in documenting Black life on screen. In the height of the Civil Rights Movement, Greaves won an Emmy for his work as executive producer of Black Journal a public program that broadcasted news authored by and about Black-American life which aired on the National Education Television — a predecessor of PBS — through 1977. Greaves went on to produce, direct, and write a number of documentaries and experimental films through the 2000s, documenting themes across Black-American and diasporic revolutionary struggles and rendering portraits of influential Black leaders, from Ida B. Wells to Ralph Bunche.
