Talk to Me


This is a real great movie directed by Kasi Lemmons, made in 2007 about a dj named Petey Greene who really made D.C. sit up and notice.  Beautifully done with Don Cheadle in the lead playing Petey Greene, also executive producing.  Supporting cast was Chiwetel Ejiorfor as Dewey Hughes, Taraji P. Henson as Vernell Watson, Cedric the Entertainer as Nighthawk Bob Terry.  

And yet not one Oscar nomination.  How could that be?

My books include Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman (1979), Invisibility Blues (1990), Black Popular Culture (1992), and Dark Designs and Visual Culture (2005). I write cultural criticism frequently and am currently working on a project on creativity and feminism among the women in my family, some of which is posted on the Soul Pictures blog.
